i wonder how large (not thickness, but offset) is your camber RCA. i talked to ian from studio and he mentioned there are two versions out there. i have the 2.1 version, most including yourself may have 2.0 which actually has more camber by 3/4" or so!

[QUOTE=AFLS400;7994419]18 x 8 ASA wheels with 235/45/18 tires sitting on Tanabe DF210s. Ride is too bumpy so I plan to install some KYB GR2 Excel struts this weekend. Hopefully the ride improves.

Scratch the KYB GR2 Excel struts. I am getting Megan EX Racing Street Coilovers. I just want the lowered look and comfortable ride

KYB makes a better dampner than Megan so the ride would likely be better with the KYB and some eibach/H&R springs (if they still make them).IMO the Megan's are both too hard and too soft for a truly comfortable ride.
