MR suspension to GSR

I am annoyed by the stock height. How much would the Evolution Evo X MR Bilstein Suspension drop my car? Anyone know the measurements? There is a good deal in my area and it's caught my interest.

I also have a question about my car. It's a 2011 EVO X GSR. It came with the following upgrades:

Leather Recaro seats
Rockford Fosgate sound system
Brembos
Stock Enkies
No aero kit
No Nav
Has a sunroof (i don't have the bumps on the roof that's required for some diffusers)

My question is it really a GSR? Are the options above even optional for the GSR?

Sounds like you got a GSR with the SSL (sight, sound and leather) package.

The MR bilsteins will not drop your car anymore than the GSR although they are an upgrade. If you want to drop your car just get some lowering springs(research to find your spring preference).

you can re-valve the mr's bilstein to suite your spring rate. about $110/each corner.

but yes, like mentioned above, the stock bilstein will not lower your car.

Just made a purchase for GTworx Tarmac springs. Seen a lot of recommendations on this. I will have before and after pictures.

Also got my PB OEM Aero Lip in. Yayer.

Good stuff. My thoughts were to find a set of MR Bilsteins and a perfect set of OEM MR wheels for my 2012 GSR .

For the guys who do put in lowering springs, how much built in camber correction adjustment is there after doing so.

Ex: front struts, is elongating strut to spindle holes necessary? And what about the rear?
