Wish my driveway didn't have a steep curb. Going to have to see how much clearance I have once the car comes in.

Rasta,

How much lower will it go? Trying to see if I should wait for the black ones or if the reds go low enough.

The front still has a few turns left to go lower, the rear is about 2 turns away from being maxed out.

Yes the thing is they are in Japan thus I didn't want to start a thread yet

If a list can be started for a "pre-order" list, that will let RS-R know approximately how many sets to send to Cali from Japan. Its what we did with the GS.

Thanks John, a lot of super excited 3IS owners! Vossen has worked hard with RS-R to get these to 3IS owners as soon as possible. Thanks to RS-R for being so receptive to feedback and for making the 3IS a priority.

Well this sucks. I was happy to order some coilovers today and on my way home a diesel tire shreds and hits the side of my door. Time to call the insurance

Can we get a list of how many are interested for a pre-order from Japan? It would help to know how many need to be shipped to RS-R here in the states.
