Hmm, thats interesting, but pretty vague - "keeps the car driving like stock when lowered" - Care to elaborate? Are they camber arms/toe arms/traction rods?

J, they're RPF1's

edit: Imput nailed it. I didn't even see the post lol

From the guys I've talked to, it just helps in overall suspension control when driving a severely dumped vehicle.

RCA's would benefit you more, if you could find them.

Have any of ya'll looked into Air Ride for the 8? I had a bagged mini back in the day, and got to thinkin, that it might be easier to do some of the mods we want to do with air. Go between a comfortable street height, and then slam it when parked.

I have some more but I'm too lazy right now. I just got home from a late night header install, I'll post some more pics tomorrow. The rear shots I got show the fitment much better too.

Hey Tilt do you think 18x10 +18 will fit with 255/35's? Obviously a roll and pull are already done.

why the need for the test fit? You have the same cars. Should fit the same.
