How are the RCE shocks/struts/springs???

I have been researching all the different suspension components available, and I keep hearing that the RCE's are fantastic. Does anyone live in NOVA that can give me a ride? I think my car is as fast as I need it for now, and the suspension is most certainly the next thing. My only hesitation is that I don't want to go much lower, or I will knock the front lip off the car. I work in unfinished communities with raised manhole covers. :?

if you work in areas of unfinished roads i'd stick to the stock suspension or look into coilovers. so you can raise and lower to suit your needs.

Yep, sadly (b/c of cost) coilovers make sense for you so that you can keep the same ride height. I don't know of any springs that keep the stock ride height but are stiffer :(

Well, Thanks for the info, that may be the only way to go then.

prodrive springs are close to stock height. 20mm per corner or so.

Does anyone have the RCE Tarmac 2 coilovers? I think I might consider them this spring.

Well, I finally settled on RCE Yellow springs, and I am going to use the stock shocks and struts for the time being. I will try to get them installed in the next week and give an update on the ride.

That's good to hear, as I'd been considering the "regular guy" springs for a while.
