The ride is sweet as hell. It took about 10 hours to do everything. The mechanic is a friend of mine so we were joking around half the time.

The ride is stiff. No bouncing. Actually its hard to tell the difference from now or before.

MATTG: Do you have a camber kit installed in your ride.

Clockwise is stiffer, counter clockwise is softer. 1-16, 1 being stiffest and 16 softest.

Update: Last night i had 700 pounds in the car. 4 people and 100 pounds of stuff in the trunk. Drove all over town. Made u turns, left turns, right turns, and there was no rubbing. Setup is 235/40/18 and offset is 42. Dropped everyone off then went to park the car in the parking lot. Enterence of the parking lot has this bump that i had to go over. Went over it really slowlly and when came off the bump got a slight rub on the front left side. So point is, with these tires and offset, as long as you are not driving over bumps everyday, even if the car is full, there should be no rubbing if the car is lowered as hell.

Avoid hard driving and heavy dips for the first 100 or so miles to let the shocks break in.

I got it for 850 shipped. The best deal on the net as far as my research could take me. The drop in the front is about 2.5 inches and in the back about 2.25 inches. The dampers are set at the hardest setting. And the best part was the install.

The job was a 11 hour job. Installing the shocks, springs, brake pads, rotors, flushing the brake fluid, putting in new brake fluid, installing comptech ss lines, adjusting the drop, testing the ride, taking out all of the rear seats, sanding the calipers, painting the calipers and painting the front grill. All costed me with tax and everything $300. What a deal.

Here is another link with more and different pics.

I have the 790vx with windows...works great. My friend installed the 791vx into my buddies' STI and works great also. I like the remote on the 791 better than my 790.
