That's pretty expensive for two pieces of metal.... what's the stuff made of? Aerocraft lightweight aluminum or something?

$700 is a ripoff. I'd go with coilovers for not much more if your only intent is to lower.

Most likely it's the common 6061 aluminum. I can replicate the damn set for under $30 in parts, but because this one is purple (and labeled super stroke up), people are willing to pay $300 for the fronts. I need to get into the business of selling RCAs

I got a similar set that AutoFashion made for much less for the front and rear.

SAGE and EXACT sells the same things....they are called RCAs in the states.....Super Stroke in jdm land.

SAGE's front RCA is 30mm = almost 1.2 inches drop (you need min 16 inch wheels)....while EXACT's is 38mm = almost 1.5 inches drop (you will need min 17 inch wheels).....both are priced at approx. $180 per set.

For a bit more more of a drop up front...SAGE has a limited run on 40mm front RCAs = almost 1.60 inch drop (also requires min 17 inch wheels).

Also, the SAGE and EXACT Rear kits are adjustable for camber correction....so you wont have to buy new tires every few months. The rears are priced about $300 per set.

YouZealand's is only 25mm all around = 0.98 inches....just shy of 1 inch drop.

Also, YouZealands Rear SS kit is NOT adjustable. Same goes for the AutoFashion set....it just drops your ride...WITHOUT any camber correction feature. No idea on the AutoFashion set, but they look like copies of the YouZealand kit.
