Lowering Springs & Active Suspension

May be a noob question, but how well do the various available lowering spring options for the G42 interact with the active suspension? I'd like a mild to moderate drop but only if it doesn't significantly negatively affect the active suspension function.

The most popular lowering springs will work fine with EDC. I wouldn't say it would negatively affect the suspension, but for example, many people compare the H&R springs to being stiffer in all modes. So like comfort mode will feel more like sport, etc. I don't have an issue with my springs and EDC; I ride in the sports setting daily. My only complaint is that the car does bounce on rough roads at mid-high speeds but I think that is an issue with all lowering springs.

if you want a mild drop maybe look into the Dinan Springs with Supplemental Ride Kit.

Just looking to get rid of excessive wheel gap without giving up too much "compliance" and avoiding those real "ouch" moments on the road. Maybe the easiest way would be to mount tires with a little wider tires with the same aspect ratio so that the resulting larger diameter will fill out the wheel well a bit. In reality, there's just too much chewed up pavement around where the vast majority of the miles would be racked up. Just want to be able to look back at it while walking away a say "that really looks good" vs "wtf, is there a lift kit on that thing?" lol.
