I have GT-Worx springs with Bilsteins and my ride heights are now 14.25" Front and 14.5" rear. The front springs have a gigantic rubber donut now that raises the ride height by about 3/4", so my front ride height must have been about 13.5". No wonder I hate the GT-Worx springs - the ride height is way too low.
The Spec-R's and GT-Worx springs must be different - there's at least 1" of ride height difference at the front. I thought the springs were the same. Obviously not.
I revalved the shocks and the suspension works well on bumpy roads above 70mph. Slower and there's too much compression damping and the ride gets worse. Adjustables are the only way to go. Lesson learned. Apexi in my future?
Here's a photo of the loaded strut with the coil donut to get my ride height to 14.25"

From memory 25 sounds about right. When I bought they were advertised as 22 lbs which was a not correct.
I managed to get a fairly hefty discount from the supplier as a result of the mistake, as it would have been costly to send them back to the USA from Australia.
They're a relatively cheap wheel so can't expect too much in the weight department.
They were going to be a stop gap fitment, But I like them because they're different and not on every second evo like the typical wheel models we tend to use.

I'm fairly sure they are re branded.

If you like 7 spoke ( which I do) there is also the work emotion xt7, and they have a concave like mine do. Look good on Evo x. It was my choice but couldn't get any at the time.
