Not a trophy but I've got a set on my ph1, nice subtle drop IMO

Whilst i can see where you are coming from, a Trophy has completely different suspension to a normal 1*2, so id like to think that the OP was considering the change from a 'suitable spring rate perspective' rather than just lowz.
Right time for a quick bump of this...
I have now had Cooksports on my T for a week
A point to note, my front Sachs dampers are in good condition, refurbed recently and no leaks... Rears however are cup shocks, awaiting new Sachs/Koni's to go on.
Ride - Ever so slightly firmer. I think it's unchanged, but the GF thinks the car rides just a bit harder than previously.
Handling - Almost unchanged, turn in is still pin sharp, the rear end is still playful. Feels planted through corners and communicates well through the steering wheel when you reach the limits of grip. I think the lower COG is slightly noticeable but not enough so that I'd say it improves handling, more so from a confidence point of view if that makes sense.
Height - Slightly too low at the back IMO. Looks the same as all the other 1*2's on Cooksports, IMO, drops the rear about 5mm too much or the front 5mm too little (maybe that's the stiffer shocks).
Future updates:
I'll get some pictures up over the weekend if possible. I'm also going to start playing around with geo settings and stiffness on the front shocks as soon as I have some Koni's/Sach's to match on the rear. I'll report back findings once this is done.

BlackGold has had a set on his Trophy for a while.

I bought his car but changed to standard springs, it's difficult to say how it affected the handling as the front and rear shocks were fucked and needed a refurb/replacing
