The wisefab drops the rear 45mm at the knuckle, which means via motion ratio, it's about a 32mm drop at the damper. Quite conveniently, the CSG FLA's recommended drop is 1.4" ~~35.56mm, so the Wisefab kit + CSG FLA + extended sleeve = virtually stock geometry instead of the compromised geometry of a 1.4in drop.

Quite literally, it's almost perfect.
This doesn't make any sense. Raising the car with an extended sleeve, or even if you just had a long enough shock body that you didn't need an extended sleeve, would compromise the geometry. It would just be in the opposite angle than what would happen if you lowered it.

This is a horrible solution unless you want your customer's cars to have bad suspension geometry
