For sure. The RSB was a huge difference.

Evil0ne, how's the stiffness of the springs on a neutral dampering? Much rubbing with your setup?

@Speedlimitz: installed it at Fizz after business hours. I might be at FNL.

@jdmj0: the only way I can describe it is... tight but not harsh. I'm really liking it.

just had an alignment earlier and this is how they sit. driver side sometimes rub the fender liner on dips so I'll be working on the damper settings still.
rears are good.


coilovers can still drop... I'm not even close to maxing out.

I DID use the Bilstein perches. I just meant they were almost at the lowest setting

I really love the color scheme!

Do these come with the pillowmounts? I'm looking for a set that comes with the ability to adjust camber and I've read nothing but great quality reviews for these.

Also, I'm not sure if you mentioned, but what are the specs on your rims?

What coils can actually make the car low. looking for what TheEvilOne has. He has HKS Hipermax's? what else can go that low?

I saw the Buddyclub's can do that too

anything else?

Size/Offset of the wheels and tires please! I don't want to get as low as you, but I want to get lower than stock. It looks like my current offset will cause rubber to hit the fender.
