Evidently my Coupe doesn't have the M-Sport package. I have though been offered some M-Sport springs and basically I want to know how well they would work without changing the rest of the set up.

Looking on ETK it would appear that the M-Sport pack came with a 19mm Anti-roll bar (as opposed to standard 18mm) and different shocks. I understand the springs to be 15mm shorter and presume them to be a little stiffer.

What do you think? Would a swap of just the springs be detrimental to handling/ride quality?

Would 15mm drop require alignment to be adjusted?
 
Shocks are what predominately determine your ride quality (how hard or soft the ride is), spring predominately determine your ride height... So no they will not be detrimental to your ride quality, a 15mm drop shouldn't effect the alignment but lots of places offer a free check so may as well have it checked if your worried.
If they last less than 20k I imagine there was an awful lot of warranty spring claims when our cars where new! lol Can't be that bad surely?!
