Default Do Sage RCAs lower your car?

im reading about 30mm drops, is that a 30mm drop by the sage rca or 30mm more travel allowed without camber issues?

If it's a 30mm drop, can it be done using stock suspension?

FYI, I got an answer.

Sage RCA lower the front 18mm and rear 18mm or 30mm without changing springs as well as adjust camber for the rear sets only.

That is correct. I think 40mm front and 30mm rear is perfect. They only make 30mm for the rear i believe. And at stock height the front is higher so the 40mm kinda evens out the drop.

if i remember back in my racing days, i didn't want my car level. i wanted the car to come up in the front an push down on the rear for traction. i think the same holds true today. i ran a 93 vett.in englistown n.j. supercharged all done up. ran 10.03 quarter 126 mph even todays vett. are not made level. thats why car come from the factory not level. even today my 430sc is higher in the back alitte. there to me the car looks sharp. but thats my 02 cents. if i want a show car, drop it. my drop is .8 front and .6 rear and the car handles great. i ride on 245/40/18 again my 02 cents. my bilstein dampers being made are to work with my swift springs.

I was hoping for....

30mm front with 245/35-20

and

40mm rear with 295/30-20

Since that's not possible, I ordered rear only for the camber adjustments and BCR coilovers. I'll hopefully have some pics soon.
