Yes, and I can confirm that we do have the N+ and The racing spec both in stock!
AM1 picked them up early this week, and I told him that before he writes a review, to thoroughly test the car out and give us feedback.

Car looks LOW! you need some wheels to fill in those fenders!
toms radiator cap is great, couldnt find the radiator cap at first.

you probably cant drive that low on normal streets, but dont forget that the racing spec dampers are designed also for track use. so if you are on a track and say on smaller diameter wheels, it might benefit you to go as low as possible.

Im not going to argue which drops the car lower, but from what me and the installer can tell it seems like the buddy club coils still go lower. anyways, if you are only buying coilovers to go as low as possible, there are probably other ways to go about it.

Its not recommending anything over the other, its a simple preference.

AM1 chose the RSD because he is a more aggressive driver and plans to use it for track driving as well.

N+ is perfectly good for street driving. The differences between the two is shock size and springrates. shock size is smaller, and springs are not as stiff on the N+.

Talking Road Testing continues week 2

Ok, so the road testing continues.........a full review will be posted once everything is properly aligned and corner balanced. on the stiffest setting, the car feels almost like a go kart, night and day compared to stock. my back will not be the same.
