Default RCA Blocks!
So I have gotten tired of waiting for the lowering springs, I'm wondering if the RCA aluminum blacks would work with the 4GS. Has anyone done this yet or would I be the first.

Yes RCA blocks lift the control arm and help lower the car it's been done on the 3GS. F-Sports or something that works with the AWD system.
