Don't cheap out, do it right the first time.

Stock struts are not designed to work with anything but stock springs, doing so will decrease the length of travel for the shocks and your suspension will be more likely to bottom out if you hit any bumps on the road. All that equals to increasing wear on the shocks that already has miles on them and you'll be more than likely to swap them out for new ones again in the near future.

ROW = Rest of World (i.e. Everywhere except the U.S. and Canada)

I have the RoW M030 kit and for our crappy Ottawa roads compared to the U.S. this is the right kit.

VR...How much did it set you back and where did you get it?

What are the effects (height; ride; feel) of it?

Eibach

Mine are stampedTechArt but as pointed out by Johnny Danger we believe they are made by Eibach. No complaints with the ride. No bottoming. Very happy!! Very little change in wear even without new toe-links

If your rears are flush with the top of your fenders now............dropping an inch will cause rubbing with the camber adjusted back out yes???? Perhaps the travel of the wheel will make things clear. I have 18" sport classics and 23mm spacers
