You made your own RXA's? You must have skills! How are they holding up? Do you have before and after pics? How much do you charge if I'm interested in getting some?

I had access to a machine shop at the time so I cut out a few sets of various height on the lathe and CNC machine. Unfortunately they are not for sale and I will not be making anymore.
Here's the specification of the front RCAs if you want to make them yourself.
Below is the link for the Solid Works file. Before picture is just like what the OP posted.

Looks good I've been trying to decide on some lowering springs myself but I've decided to just go coilovers just so I know I'll be happy with whatever drop I want, but great review thanks

So after riding on these springs for about 5 months i decided to update you all with some pics.
as far as the ride quality these springs and my stock shock ride really nice. the only downside is that the drop is even. The left side sits a tad lower than my right side. when i went in for an alignment, it shows how uneven my car is through the spec print out. This isnt that big of a deal to me considering how old the car is. so without further a due...... heres my lexi!

Thanks for the updates pics. Cars looks very nice. Whats the part number for these springs? I was talking to a guy with a shop and he swore up and down that Megan does not have any for the 300 and only has them for the 400. He also stated that they will fit the 300, but because the 400 has a heavier motor, the car might sit a lil higher in the front when installed on a 300.

I would like to add a front RCA that's approximately 18mm. Then that will close the wheel gap enough to even the gs out. I am still running stock struts and i plan to replace the front with bilsteins. I hope that modification will drop the front a little more. Over all if your looking for a nice drop with a quality ride these springs are the way to go.

Well i'm not totally sure about that, when i received my box it stated that these springs where for the 300/400/ & 430. I do agree that after installing these springs the rear dropped the car closer to the wheels than the front. Over time the spring settled more so i am some what content.
