Default Got Some Sage RCA kits!

So if anyone from the 3GS remembers these they will know what I'm talking about. I plan to get them installed after I come back from vacation or hopefully earlier if I get my car back. These aluminum blocks are an alternative to lowering your car without springs that may cause issue's with the AWD system and also keeps everything OEM. I will keep you all posted when they are installed and will post pics of the process. Also these are for the front only, not sure how it will turn out but I'm sure I'll find out. These are for a small 20mm drop so hope it doesn't look weird.

You would still need the rear RCA of some sort to keep the rear in check. It's great for saving your OEM shocks toobtw

It would lower it by the height of the rca.

Yes these would work, they are not like springs as they sit on the control arm, so all the OEM functions are still intact.

Isn't sage located in California? There is plenty of 4gs out there to test on.

So these could be used to lower the front even more with drop springs?
That would solve the issue of the rear being lower than the front that is a common issue with drop springs!
