My Ride: A Car
My first setup (vogtland springs and stock sports struts):
A nice drop and ride. Drives just like stock and I didnt feel much of a different at all. I noticed it turns better and a tad less body roll but going over bumps, it was very comfortable and felt JUST as it's stock.
My second setup (vogtland springs and Bilstein SP struts):
AMAZING!!! I wanted to get the FSDs but the Bilsteins were on sale and I couldnt refuse the deal! The price was NEAR wholesale. Probably $30 away from wholesale price. Firm ride, takes bumps decently. Drives BETTER than stock. These vogtland springs match the struts perfectly. Ride is definitely not harsh.

But if DD has self leveling suspension, there must be some electronical parts connected to the rear suspension.
I never heard AK mention that

Soft isnt always necessarily the best. It feels firmer yet not harsher. I sat in an Eibach Prokit and I didnt like it honestly. The struts also come hand in hand.
My first setup (vogtland springs and stock sports struts):
A nice drop and ride. Drives just like stock and I didnt feel much of a different at all. I noticed it turns better and a tad less body roll but going over bumps, it was very comfortable and felt JUST as it's stock.
