Looks good man, how do those springs ride? lose much from stock, I am stuck between these or the Eibach pro kit, as that is what I had on my VIII. looks good man, think I made the decision I am gonna go with the black RPF1, same size and all.

Thanks, the springs feel just slightly stiffer than stock. If you are looking at these or eibachs, I would recomend these all the way. The spring rate is much better than the eibachs, almost the same as the GT WORX springs. The height is .25 inch higher in front than eibachs and the same height in the back.

I picked the AEMs just to match the factory cluster, thanks.

I have not noticed any rear rubbing. I think the front might be rubbing slightly at full lock.

Hope this works.

This is the front undertray ( actually lower than my front bumper) and has about 3.75", the lowest part on the actual bumper is about 4.25".



This one is the lowest point on my car ( besides the tires ) the artisan exhaust is pretty low. It is about 3" from the ground.

Nice! I'm curious about the springs also, as there hasn't been as many people going or switching to them than I thought.

Have they settled any and can you give any hub to fender measurements? I'd like to compare it to my buddy's Swifts to see to get a better perception of what the delta is.
