how low is the back end of the RA dropped stock?
im thinking of getting these tenzo r lowering springs that would drop 2-2.5 inches..
Does anyone have any numerical gains on hp or torque with the RRM piggyback?

Not nearly as much as they claim...but if that's what you want i guess it's better than no tune at all...Myself, i would prefer an ECU tune, the piggy back will work, but i wouldn't trust it with forced induction.

You drive an RA don't you? i don't understand your first question.

The Ra back end comes stock lower than the front end. I was wondering how low it is dropped?

Hm I was thinking that it's springs were lower in the back, because it's an obvious difference. Thanks for your input im going to just get the springs

There is no stock drop, just a saggy rear end. Mine is brutally dropped plus I have an extra 250lbs of stereo on it. With a full tank of gas I tuck most of the tire. Replacing coils will bring it back to the stock height.

I thought gr-2s were pretty much OE, or was that the EXCELG? I got ground controls which can drop me from .5" to 3".

These tenzo r's... The kyb's on this site said they weren't for lowering springs past 1.5 or something

I believe ground control is a lowering spring. I recently lowered on S-Tech's and KYB and it's a nice ride.

Ground Control is a manufacturer of sleeves. They mainly use a small Eibach coil with a large spring constant and an adjustable coil sleeve. They have a very rough ride because of how small the coil is but have the adjustability which is what I was looking for where I live in Newfoundland which has bad winters.

This is the product on the Ground Control website. That is a generic image and is not what ours would look like. Ours are very similar but do not come with those specific hats. The sleeve would be the threaded piece.
