Default RS Ride Height

Looks like this. A decidedly menacing stance. I would characterize the difference between the stock upright/tierod combo and the RS version as "dramatic" in terms of how much better the front behaves overall on lowered cars. I was previously RS+10mm at least and thought I had no bumpsteer whatsoever. Wrong...or at least the improvement is significant enough to have me believe I sure did. Just my layman's two cents (and a pic sharing opportunity). With the Rennline solid sub frame mounts it's again a whole new car. Very happy with the result.

jordan, the car looks sick! i've never forgotten that ride, a few years back, through the hills so i could see what our cars can do with an upgraded suspension. i'm running 10's set to 5/5 with turbo sways and am happy. i might have to come down again for another run in that beauty you've built!

Car looks great. What brand and size wheels do you have installed? I love black wheels on white cars.

Thanks guys. The wheels are the long discontinued 3 piece Kinesis K28's. The centers are matte black w/ the lips satin for a subtle contrast. Both Powdercoated. 18x8.5f 18x10r.

Definitely agree - what a great stance. And the car looks great, any other pics you can post?

Cheers,

Looks sensational.

Certainly an upgrade I have considered many times over. Even at RS+10 it just doesn't feel like it should. You have me thinking again! Damn I hate this place!

+1 that the bumpsteer at RS+10 is terrible. I gave up on that awful idea eventually.

Just drive around at a little below RS on stock uprights for a year and then RAISE to RS+10 it's actually very nice
