Hi im trying to find a way to lower my car while keeping the active suspension. I have heard lowering springs will solve this problem but I wanted to make sure or see if there were any other ways you guys achieved that.

Changing out only your springs is the only way to achieve that! Plenty of members, myself included, have gone this route.

I wish there were an aftermarket solution like what exists for VW (of course those are $$$), but no, springs are your only option as of now.

Have tried several lowering springs on our Si's, retaining the adaptive suspension feature everytime. There's quality options from Eibach, H&R, Swift, and Whiteline.

What's your driving style, and are you looking for a light, medium, or heavy drop?

I'm also looking to do the same on my '20 Si... wanna start doing light track days but also wanna retain the active dampers and a reasonable height for daily driving.

It seems like springs are the way to go to get lower with active suspension, aftermarket sway bars will also help handling

Eibach pro kit I believe is one of the most conservative drops. I haven’t installed mine yet, but I got them because of the modest drop and it’s my daily. Just waiting to get some decent spacers before I throw them on. Crossing my fingers there will be no rubbing
