Sick...that thing was dumped. Any issues with vibrating or wobbling like people mentioned on other AWD threads?

Before I installed the Sage RCA kit it would wobble around 20mph and on cold starts/stoplights the car would vibrate a little bit. The Sage kit solved the wobble. Sometimes it vibrates a little on cold starts still but it did that with the factory suspension. I'm on BC coilovers maxed out in the front-rear coils still have threads to go lower. 30mm sage kit worth every penny

correct but it does help eliminate it as it pushes everything back in place slightly. when you add rca blocks, you arent changing the angle of anything.

I must say I salute you guys for doing this with confidence. I don't have the ***** to drop the AWD on coils, springs, whatever... and I have dropped every vehicle I have ever owned.

I only run RCA blocks up front. 19mm I believe.. as the larger blocks for front and rear wont allow me to get the stock rims back on for winter, wthout swapping hardware, which would annoy me. Your cars look great.
