Dinan Shockware on Stock Springs?

I am thinking about trying out the Dinan Shockware on my 2011 Msport with stock springs. I know the typical set up is aftermarket springs and the software but it is really more than I want to spend at this time plus I do not want to lower the car - I can barely avoid scraping the chin now in everyday driving. Springs and software is typically a $2000 job and I really just don't want to go there. The software is a simple plug and play and is on sale right now.

I tried some searching but could not find anyone with this set up. Input is appreciated.

Thanks everyone.

If you have a 2011 M-Sport ... then you have the adaptive suspension ... I think the shockware would work well in your case, however I personally have not purchased the shockware. You say it's on sale now ... what's the sale price? Curious for myself ... maybe I'll try it out.

Shockware well worth it!

Having done both the Shockware and Dinan springs, I can say the most worthwhile improvement was the Shockware. Skip the Dinan springs if budget is the issue. The Dinan springs , however, do stiffen up the ride a bit (about 30% per Dinan), yet hardly lower the car at all. Even if lowering is not your objective, I don't think the extra expense of Dinan springs are worth it, IMO
