Thumbs up RD Sport Suspension came today

I recently purchased springs and shocks from RDSPORT, Cali for $395. I was pleased when I opened the box. All of the components are marked with Bilstein Made in Germany engravings, and Racing Dynamics Engravings. Can't wait to put em in, hopefully in time for the 2009 calender.

If anyone has any questions about them, let me know. As far as I know, they have a few sets left going for $395. After those are sold, thats it. I'll edit this some time when I start to put them in. I sure hope I don't have to do anything custom, I hate those kinds of projects.

They quoted a 1.2" drop all around, but I'm anticipating much lower than that.

He did say that this kit was around $1200 when they were in demand, so yeah $395 is a heck of a deal for anything sport Bilstein related

Do the springs already come with the struts attached or would we have to put them on? The more i see this the more I'm interested. Ryan if you read this by any chance how many do you have left.

Well I called Ryan at RDSport this morning, and he still had a few available. So, I bought a set, and he shipped it out this morning. I should have it in a few days... The price is hard to beat, as the price is less than I found for Bilsteins alone...

I don't know how many sets he has left, so I would call ASAP if anyone is serious...

Lowered suspensions destroy the stock RSMs. It's easiest to replace the RSMs with upgraded units while the suspension is off.
