Lowering with continuous damping suspension

Hello all. First, I read through the lowering threads but I did not see any reference to my concern. I am considering lowering my FX50S and was considering the megan racing coilovers and F/R camber kit, until I noticed that the coilovers was for vehicles without continuous damping control (CDC). What route (lowering springs or other coilovers) would be best for a FX with CDC? Has anyone with a CDC equipped FX lowered, and if so, how did the lowering choice positively or negatively impact the CDC. Thanks.

Sorry Guys. Please disregard this post. I was able to get and answer via more research and paying attention. Thanks.

This is what i have learned just reading about C/Os. I dont actually have one on my car.
The coilovers provide dampening, albeit it has to be manually set. They come with adjusters as well so you can change it. The front c/o have the adjuster at the top so you can access them when you pop the hood, the rears come with a flexible ~20inch long adjuster as there's no way to have them adjusted from the top after being installed. But you have to drill a hole in the trunk to pass the flexible adjusters and have it sit somewhere behind the rear seats/in the trunk.

My understanding is that the C/O's dont connect electronically the same way OE suspension does, but this is the part I'm not 100% sure on.

Folks with more experience could chime in and help better probably.

Is there a particular reason you want to go with Megan's instead of BC Racing?

Still trying to decide. I was leaning toward the megan Racing because the EZII stated it was for the FX with CDC and I planned to use the MR Camber kits. After some more research, it appears the BC are better, so I am just confused. Trying to do a compare between both, but my main concern is with the CDC.
