We're old and proud! Okay I'm only 38, but sometimes that feels ancient in certain circles.

I'm at about 20/25mm lower than stock on my coilovers with OEM top mounts. Low enough to not look stock...

Def stick to the stiffer settings for auto-x. It's okay to be on the stiffer side with SS1s.

The tall rear ride height isn't helping since you're reducing your droop travel. If you can get away...

I have the MCA traction mod on my personal car, with a sort of custom 5k/6k KW/ST 3 way coilovers. I think it would be great with our RCE T2s. It's a good mod.
