Default RS-R I-Basic Active Coilovers
I just pulled the trigger on the coilovers from Meraki (Thanks Josh) so no more 4x4 fkn tractor look....lol
With a moderate drop of 1- 2 inches, will I need anything else for my money pit?

Shoot, should've mentioned. A lot of people do get the SPC rear camber arms to go with their coils or even springs..

Text me lol!

Definitely get the SPC arms and do it all at once so you don't have to pay extra for installation later.
Curious as why you got the Basic*i and not Best*i- the later is AVS compatible.

I was under the impression that there was only one RS-R active coilover....??? I have never seen the "best" advertised in all of my research.

Nope, RSR makes several versions,:Basic, Black, Sport, Best.
Best*i is their newest coilover that is AVS compatible but for RWD 2013-2015 GS only.

Edit: well guess I'm wrong. Basic*i and Best*i both are AVS compatible. But Best*i offer Secondary 24 way adjustment dial located at the base of the dampers. So for $200 more, you get more adjustments.

Yes you're right. That's the only one that is AVS compatible with AWD. The Sport*I also work for your AWD but you'll lose AVS. Tein also make AVS coilvers. But I don't know anything about them.

Thanks Josh, I had also researched it extensively. With AWD and RWD it can be quite confusing!
