Seems as though stock susp of the 2IS front has more wheel gap than the rear.

For most ppl...the rear is perfect height...but the front needs a bit more lowering (again...ugly wheel gap).

Just install some RCA blocks up front to drop it down...you will retain stock ride quality.

My opinion is that the car will look worst off if it dips in the front (nose dive). The car already high in the rear by default, it should be levelled up to look nice....like audis.

I guess SAGE finally released them for 2IS and 3GS....works for both models since they share similar parts.
