Road Magnet currently produces only a spring with a 2" drop for the 2ISawd.

How is the ride quality? The ride quality on my AWD is just bad and I really feel the bumps even if its a small bump with stock suspension. I feel like I'm in a rally car going off road.

My experience is driving a 2ISawd with RMs installed (the red one in the pics above) is that the quality is superb. The car performed great and there was zeroo bottoming out. I've also had these on my 1IS and the ride was great. I had them on my car for 50K on stock shocks and they still performed as well as they did the day I installed them.

If i have 18's, with 225/40/18 tires, do you know what the gap between the tire and fender measures after the drop? I think the AWD sits higher than the 250/350 RWD, so is it actually a bit lesser drop compared to the RWD's? Just wanted to get an idea, i just don't want the car to sit too low, never drove in a lowered car before. Thanks!

I'm not sure of what the wheel gap will be. It won't be any lower than the pics above.

At this time Road Magnet isn't producing springs for the RWD.

My car has the prototype springs....the production ones are not as aggressive a drop. Here is a pic of the production drop...keep in mind, this pic was taken before the springs settled. Expect a little more drop when they do settle.
Ride on these is fantastic

This is not a group buy, the sale price is for individual sales.
The production springs offer a two inch(2") drop as seen the picture above in Mark's post.
