Yeah I have the bilstien shocks (with rce yellows) and rears are the one with c-clips to adjust the height. Left rear spring is sagging so I adjusted the right to even it out, so the rears are a tad lower than the fronts.. I was actually being cheap for going with gtworx/bilstien instead of the kw. Oh well maybe I'll ask for them on Xmas. You going to BAM?

Not to interrupt the thread but i'm actually on the fence of buying either of those set ups hah. Zergling who did the install of the koni insert for you? Would you mind pming me a price? I really want the RCE Yellow/Bilstien package but not if the drop is going to be uneven.

The bilstein shocks are top of the line and rce yellows/blacks are probably the best springs for 08+, I may just have a bad set. I have to call in for warranty.

Hey, I'm not going to complain about my FS thread getting bumped

PROcede - I had EQ Tuning at Fairfield do the install of my suspension, charged 4.5 hours. Doing some rough math in my head, total costs for me is practically the same as getting the Bilstein+RCE. The main difference would be that with Koni's, you get adjustability with the damping (which I want because it means I can set it to a bit softer for my Tahoe trips), while the Bilsteins give 3 height settings for the rear to avoid the butt-sag.

John - if one side is off compared to the other, there might be a problem with the product or with the install? Have you tried contacting RCE on what needs to be checked?
Yes, I definitely plan to go to BAM! Not sure yet if I'll join the peninsula caravan, though, as the gf might get car-sick if I drive a little spiritedly. How about you? You going? Bringing the fiance?

As for the wheels - a celica owner has been emailing me. We'll see if the person will push through...

Holy crap, didn't know you do that too! I should've tried to bribe you with some cash and alcohol to do my install lol!

Anywho, see you at BAM! Hope you get the ride height thing sorted out asap, and thanks for bumping up my thread!

Wednesday bump!

I have 2 persons emailing me regarding the wheels, but they're both from Modesto. One still needs to get cash, while the other is still researching fitment for his/her celica.
