Also would like to know. Where is the best (least expensive) place to pick up a set for the front?

Super Now Front Lowering Kit has finally arrived 6 months later. Want to thank Clark from VIP for not giving up. The problem was with manufacturer they have since fixed there manufacturing issues from what I've been told.

Will be install this kit on weekend will post up pick of ASAP. Question for lobuxracer and Figs once this kit has been installed is there anything in particular that I should be looking for to ensure there are no problems?

Some pic of kit

This is interesting. I don't really want to wait another 6 months if I was to order this kit so I got to thinking....why not just go to Lowes and buy a few oversized nuts to slip over the bolts and use those as the spacers. It'd cost a few bucks. Also, are the stock bolts the same size as the VIP bolts?

Hey Phi, I think VIP order additional kits you give them call and find out, I'll let you know about about bolt size once removed.

I think that 20mm looks perfect. So the only thing you did was the 20mm kit and everything else is stock? Back stock as well?

Yes only 20mm in the front and stock in the back. I also added spacers and wider tires but in regards to height, only the 20mm kit. If you are going to order it, make sure is the one for the 3rd gen GS. Those are the ones that work for our ISF's.

Does it ride any different at all? I am thinking about getting this mod but don't want to sacrifice the ride.

Ride should be the same, or at least you shouldn't be able to "tell" any difference as compared to aftermarket springs, shocks, etc...

Rob, thought you should know if you don't already that your rear wheels are on the wrong sides.
