OEM strut setup is very bump stop active, the Suspension uses the bump stops a lot during regular driving. Even with shorter bump stops you end up with less bump travel which is lose/lose if ride quality matters.

If ride quality is your goal, yellows or eibach pro kit are probably a safer bet.


Sidenote lots of threads buried with lengthy discussions on it. Page two RCE chimes in a one point.

I am running camber bolts, but they are not needed if you are not interested in the extra camber. The 20mm drop of the RCE Yellows is well within stock toe adjustment, and will gain you a small amount of camber front and rear, but that shouldn't hurt tire wear in normal driving.

Yeah I was wanting to keep the stock alignment set up too. I don't wanna wear tires too much. How much is yours dropped?

I'm with double camber bolts and Pedder's offset top hats for over -3 degrees. With just the camber bolts I think I had about -2.2 after lowering and around -1.8 before lowering. You should be perfectly fine with just the lowering springs.
