Though I've been surprised by how low they make my car sit (Almost one 1 finger gap in the front, 1-1.5 finger gap in the rear). I finished putting the rears in, along with my KYB GR2 inserts. My suggestion, don't do work in 90 degree weather with no cover. It was hotter than hell out, and even though I'm half asian, and have darker skin, I still burned out there. Either way, I took the car for a drive. Definately needs an alignment, but it handles much better than with the ST/KYB in the front, and stock 3rd gen SE suspension in the rear. Had a few problems which I corrected. The RSB seems to be doing a better job because before, I couldn't get the nuts tight enough, and now, they are tighten all the way. Can't wait to put 18's on.

Hmmm.....90 degree weather, huh? Guess you're black as I am now!!!

Whenever you lower cars you need to re-align the car, but you knew that. I would'nt try 18's.....even with low profile tires, I think your front may be too low and it may rub the wheel well during driving. Check with Les Schwab 'bout that. 17's will be okay though, I know that for sure.

Uhh, yeah I know I gotta get an alignment..espeically after the fact I put camber bolts in this time. Also, I'm not rubbing even running large tires than stock (I'm running 205/65/15 opposed to the stock 195/60/15). Since the overall diameter isn't changing, it should be fine even if it is lowered....or at least this is how it was explained to me. I'm not putting on like 235 or 245 tires so it should be fine.

Ashura, here is the deal, I have the bottom rear strut housing, with no inserts (since I used them in my car). They are with the hub. You can take a look at em. I know one side is taken apart, so you probably want to see if you want them first before buying them. As for the springs, I'm trying to sell them as a kit, so if you want them, you gotta buy all 4. I'm just hoping I didn't pass the impression that I was selling the strut and springs as one assembly. If I did, I apologize. Let me know, I'll try to remember to call you. Yesterday I was exhausted and totally forgot to call you...again... :P
