How is it working for you? I've been interesting in R.M few times now. Everything I read about people don't give enough detail as to How was it over bumps? Did u put it on stock shocks? How is it going through speed bumps? Going up drive ways? Any scraping on the front lip? Any wheel rubbing ?

running road magnets on a 09 AWD with fsport shocks (coming from h&r sport springs on stock shocks)
the RM are linear so more consistency when cornering (i push my lexus hard), however it definitely doesn't feel as stiff as the h&r; and this is on stiffer shocks than when i had h&r
it took a while for them to ship to me (it was US holidays or something) but once they did it took about a week to get to my door in Toronto
what i like
- linear
- most aggressive drop on lowering springs
- comfort
what i dont like
- reverse rake....2" front AND REAR...so front still looks higher
- sometimes i wished it was stiffer...and my shocks too....bcr with swift 12/10 is probably what i'm going to do next

it probably would, I wouldnt expect an even drop after it settles though. those springs are junk. was popular with the civic crowd for a while until they started to sag.

they are not junk, they're the only linear option for the 2IS aside from Swift (and tein h tech)
Lexus won the 2002 grand am championships with road magnet springs

I have the RoadMagnet's installed on my car & I think they're worth it. Gave a nice 2" drop to fill the wheel gaps. Gives a smooth ride w/ stock shocks. Because of the drop & the lip on my car, I have to watch certain things, like driveways, dips, speed bumps, but I like them. I've only had them on for about 6 months, but they've settled nicely. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to coils for the time being (like I was lol), these should do it
