As I've admitted here before, I'm suspension stupid, so forgive me if this question is moronic. Does the damper adjustment feature mean that they are adjustable in height/drop? I'd like to be able to be lowered in the summer, but retain having decent ground clearance for the winter.

I used to run adjustable procomps on my Jeep.
With coil overs, you have the adjustability of the spring height and preload by turning the collar.

Ok. Now that I've had a chance to Google around, I found that the N1 coilovers ARE adjustable "up to a 3 inch drop" according to a retailers description I found.
So, depending how closely based on the N1 they are, that may or may not hold true. Hopefully it will!! That's exactly what I'm looking for, and I would be willing to spend the money.

ISC is in the process of making the m033 that I found overseas available for the us market. Price will be $1250 and is currently pending approval. I have a set pending sale and will do a full report or fitment with them to get out all the kinks.
Ive worked hand ons with them thus far and have showed them how the rear is actually a shorter spring than originally thought and the max drop of the outlander kit does not work.
It promissing thus far. I hope to install before the fall/winter if all works out.

I see their fitment guide doesn't list the Outlander Sport, but does list both the RVR and ASX. I was under the impression the Outlander Sport has the same exact suspension configuration.

Hey Chris. I was checking back on some info on ISC. If the parts are available for the RVR/ASX around the world, what is pending approval or what are we waiting for? What makes them any different than the actual Outlander Sport that you are working with them?

Guys, I need your help. Since I have lowered my 2011 OS I have this rattling going on. I know it has something to do with the suspension because I only hear it when I go over bumps. Its a higher pitch squeaking. Help ideas?

How did you lower yours? what type of springs? struts? cut bump stops? also how low are you? I would say check and make sure everything is tight and go from there

I lowered it by using Eibach lowering springs. They are the springs for the ASX. It only dropped it about 1.5 to 2 inches. I'm going to check everything to make sure it is tight maybe tomorrow. Been working a lot. Will let y'all know

Did anyone find anything else out about the Megan lowering springs???
I was just talking to my contact at Megan about these yesterday (trying to get my price down to match these guys) and he didn't say anything about it but I'll ask to be sure.
To be honest my cost is pretty much what they're selling them for so they might have had a price error and are hoping you'll just cancel instead of wait.

HI GUY SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLAY BUT I BEEN BUSY.
This set of spring are from the Lancer (GT, DE OR GTS) and are the same set of spring install in the Blue ASX in this post.
I install the front spring only for test and they fit perfectly (but 3 turn of the spring are touching each other) so I ended up removing it.
The spring drop the OS 2" in the front and when you take a curve the OS remains stable on the road.
