Hi,
Yes it has, however the movement has been restricted making the ride harder. There is still some scraping up front with steering out whilst reversing down a hill, but that was also the case with the set at maximum height and before that on springs. That area will need to be reshaped with a blowdryer. But I'll do that somewhere this winter.
Right now this is the stance:
All in all, I am very happy with the coilovers. The car is responsive, razorsharp, drives great. But there is indeed a loss of comfort. I don't care much about that, but I can imagine others would.
In your case, I would consider bumpstop-clips. These days those things have been designed to take some impact, so there is not much of a max-out. Unless of course the shocks start failing. Then just go straight for the J5s and don't bother with OEM.
Hope this helped.

@hube your GS looks incredible! I'm looking to reduce the body roll on my 4th gen GS450h. I'm trying to decide what's best when it comes to lowering springs, between:
1. Swift Sport
2. Tanabe NF210
3. RSR Down Sus
I don't particularly want to lower the car, I just want better handling and less body roll, and the most cost effective way seems to be via lowering springs.
I've got the stock 18's on, do you think there would be any rubbing with those on and one of the above springs? Is the rubbing you got mainly due to the size of the wheels?
Thanks for your help,
Julian
