Looking now.

If you do get them get the spherical bearing ends with dust boots. There is negligible/undetectable increase in nvh.

Can'tX competing in STX. They don't allow spherical

The site will not allow me to purchase the LCA's. I can select, it say 1 item in cart but also no item in cart. I can select the rear end links.

Uh oh. I assumed that was a pair. It shows a pair, and you need a pair... and the description is plural... if I'd known you were similarly limited to the bushing mount I might have kept quiet, knowing the probable impact on your wallet.

There's a link where it says "1 item in cart" - select it. Mine worked right, but only when I did that. Price on the site doesn't include the discount. Paypal only.

Finally got it. It's a bit off but not enough of a savings to do it right now. I'll wait a bit and get it with the tune and do the install over the holidays.
Good day A!!!

Too late for those. Done deal on the SRC's. I considered them the CS, heavily, but went with the SRC's. I'm very much about quality of the ride. The last set I had I was very disappointed in. My worry was/is that they would be lacking in DD quality. So I opted for the other end of the spectrum, high end. Yours was the only review I found on the RS*R and from that I anticipated that they "might" be to "harsh" on the street. They would be great on the track, but!!! So I looked at the Ohlins, almost but then the Black Friday deal was, literally, to good to be true. Just awesome. So that's the way I went. Now I need all the supporting mods, rear of the wheels, tires, tune, LCA's, and other bits and pieces.
Will see if it is worth it.
Plus never been on top tier coilovers.

You might like to start a new thread to tell us your impressions of these dampers once you have them fitted. These were on my consideration list. The lack of local support was what took them off the list.

im jelly. i cant complain though i didnt even have the budget for any coilovers and just came across a gem of a deal.

Then the wife's turn to keep the peace.

As awesome as the price I got mine for? I bought a whole set for $500 from what used to be the VCMC FR-S race car.

Yes I will start a thread on these. The only other review is by CSG. Well I'm not quite at there level.
I'm still on the east coast, there on the west coast. I would love to have gotten something a little lower in price, as the wife scowls at me, but all the planets aligned for this to happen.
I'm sure, despite some "how can they ride this smooth " reservation's, I this will be everything I think they are.
One question I never asked is "do they come preassembled or is assembly required?

It actually sounds like your plans are very similar to mine - at least as far as STX considerations go. Thats what made me jump on the RX LCR's since so few are available with bushings. I'm on the middle coast I guess (about a mile from Lake Michigan.) I still need exhaust too though - and I'm at my limit for this month (have to pay the second half of painting our old house ugly - I mean, a color that others can see themselves in - and general post 13 year stay cleaning, and it's more than I'm looking at in suspension...

So I'm having to angst over some of the other really good deals going and
plan on spending a bit more or waiting for the next deal, but either way, later.
