Cbp/rj20"/hr
Finally got the ride clean enough for pics. Sorry about the crappy quality, I'm no photographer! Anyways, here are the RJ Sport Harrows 20" with the HR drop. I hope you guys like it.

Very nice! I actually just ordered a CBP SH-AWD Tech with umber interior. And that's exactly the look I was going for too! I'm thinking of picking up the Harrows and the H&Rs. I will most likely get the straight bar RJ grill too. Car looks really good. I have something to look forward to.

None so far, I've had them on for about a week and made several trips over an hour in them. They are only slightly stiffer than stock. Handling is noticibly better and I hav no issues with speed bumps or humps. All in all, a quality product in my opinion.

The drop along with the wheels is a great combo.

Not on the entire car, but if they can prove that the springs caused accelerated wear on other parts of the car (like Struts) then they won't be covered under warranty.
But I'm sure if you had some sort of issue with steering or the drive the dealer could claim that is due to the springs.

It was very difficult for me to find a shop around here that would do it. I ended up with payless mufflers who quoted me 150 for the front springs and 70 for the rear. I also had a four wheel alignment done afterwards for 70. I paid just under 300 for the whole deal. Most places either don't want to install aftermarket springs or use parts that the customer brings in. Strangely enough, there are two payless mufflers here and only one would agree to do it. I think it's up to the manager and if a mechanic is willing to do it. Maybe you can find a better price than me. Not a lot of ppl in KY want to drop their cars it seems.

A few questions:
How is the spring rate compared to stock?
Is it a much rougher ride?
How much of a drop front and rear?
Any issues with camber?
Overall, the look is excellent but is the ride worth the look?

The ride is only slightly stiffer than the already sporty sh-awd suspension. Spring rate feels the same to me, but i do baby it on bumps and entry ramps as I did before the drop. The rear wheels are ever so slightly tilted in at the top and the fronts seem the same. (I am just eyeballing that btw so take it at face value) The performance on curves has greatly increased (much less body movement) and the ride is still acura-like. The steering is more responsive and you have a better feel of the road in your steering wheel. Much less numb than the stock setup. All in all, I feel it's worth it and not just for looks (although that was my primary reason). Hope that's helpful!

Absolutely helpful, just wondering if you will end up with uneven wear on the rear tires. Does anyone offer a camber kit for the 4G?

an adult perspective
Probably worth keeping in mind. Despite all opinions to the contrary, I ended up having to get both front and back camber kits for my CL which was dropped using Comptech Springs (aka Eibach Sports) wrapped around Neuspeed Koni Yellows and running on RJ Servo's.

No kits yet. As for the tires I think I'll be fine with frequent tire rotations. Thank god for sears and lifetime tire care lol. And the drop is moderate at most. H&R claims 1.5 and 1.3 if I'm not mistaken but looks like 2" to my eyes. Even so, still a modest drop so issues arekept to a minimum.

8 inch width, full specs on the 20" harrows are on the rjsport website. Tires are michelin pilot sport as 245/35/20. Yes you should get an alignment done, I had it done with the installation.

You should also do another alignment in about a month after everything settles. You'll probably be down another 1/4" to 3/8".

I was thinking of taking the mudguards off, however the car's not that low and cbp is a !@#$% to keep clean. When the ronjon lip kit comes out, that's when the mudguards'll come off.

Last question, any further strain on the sways; specifically the end links?

I can only assume that there is some. But considering the suspension's already sporty setup and the modesty of the drop, my assumption is that the extra strain will be negligible. Time will tell.
