it is an accolade kit. I'm very happy with the kit I recieved from them, great quality and fitment. Its odd seeing my lancer's rear soo small though :P
The drop is probably ... 3.5 inches? I got the basic nex sleeve coilover springs, slammed it as low as it would go and then got an alignment. I had to raise it back up however, as it was too low (was sitting at 4.5" from the ground) and I was scraping on everyone and everything. I raised it back up about an inch and its much better.
thanks all for the comments!

I haven't seen any issues with my struts thus far. if it blows them, i'm happy with getting a tein kit as a replacement

For reference, here's my ride height (after adjusting this weekend), using a tape measure from from the GROUND to the edge of the fender (directly above the tire):
Front: 23 3/8 inches
Back: 23 1/2 inches
I don't recall what the stock height was. If someone has a stock car and can measure, that would give a good reference point.
That is a very clean looking kit. It goes well with the lines of the car IMO. Also, i have to comment on how nice the fitment is. it looks like it belongs on the car to begin with. Nice choice, and i bet it will look great once you get it painted. cant wait to see pics!

Looks great, make me want to get my kenstyle out of the garage and finally get it installed. Been sitting in my garage for over a year also. Be sure to post pics once you get it painted, i'd love to see it.
i got the same kit but i went with the TS rear bumper b/c you have to remove the rear crash bar, the one i got supposedly just needed to shave foam, but i had to modify my rear bumper a little and take all the foam off. how did the rest of the kit fit? did you do it yourself? the rest of mine fit like a glove, it was sweet.

They had to remove the entire rear re-inforcement bar and all the foam for my RB to fit. The RB fit without any issues.
The SS were the only item which needed any work, they had to shave down the top, inside edge just a little bit, but other wise it fit perfectly.
I should be getting the car back from the shop 2nite .. im excited! I will get more pics when done
