Rapide lowering springs

Good morning fellow Rapide owners,
I am contemplating installing lowering springs on my 2010 Rapide, but I can't find any supplier for the 2010 MY.
Has any of you found and installed lowering springs on an early Rapide?
What is your feedback?
Thanks in advance!

Your best bet is call Stuart at Velocity and ask if they could do a set. I'd hate to find some sourced ones that say they will work and you end up with a sacked out poor looking ride height issue.

Thank you for the reply.
I reached out to VAP, H&R and a couple of other places... but no luck... bummer!

I suspect your best bet is going to be coilovers. They are more expensive than just springs by a good amount, but are a full bolt-in replacement and some even come with a nose-lift feature that is desperately needed on these cars when lowered.

Coilovers don't work with the OEM adaptive suspension, so you'll need to code it out or install one of the cancellation kits:

Seems brilliant. Keeps your adaptive damping, relatively low cost.
