Nice to know..saves a good chunk of change.

Yes, the 500lb/9k sound stiff. Do you offer 450lb/8k too? If yes, extra charge? I think 8k square would interest a lot of people.

I may have to just save up for T2's... buy right buy once.. right? lol

Is it me, or do these look like Takumi's coilovers?

After tracking the car, and doing autox, I can confidently say the T2's are really great. My tires not so much. Need much better tires now to keep up with the awesomeness.

Get bushings as well people, you won't regret!

...And square. Learned that the hard way.

450 lbs/in would be extra.

Honestly....the standard 7k springs are awesome for most people. Super sticky r-comps, maybe go firmer but you may not need to.

Ordered a set of T2's yesterday!

What sway bar endlinks are you guys going with? I assume the stock ones will be too long with a modest ~30mm drop, right? I am also running RCE hollow sways front and rear.

I need to grab some conical washers. Are those best sourced from the dealership?

Conical washers are easily sourced from the dealer. Holla at us if they don't have them.

We went with Whiteline IIRC for our endlinks.

Honestly, I know they are 500 bones ... but forget the conical washers and by the Raceseng CasCam plates ...

Night and day difference ...

Do it once, do it right, right?

I thought about it some more and I know I'd want the CasCam's eventually anyways so I just bit the bullet on those too....and the rear shock tops....and whiteline front and rear end links. I'm feeling nauseous. Hope it's all worth it!

Sounds exciting!

Which rear shock tops? Do aftermarket rear shock tops work with the RCE coilovers without any additional washers/plates/perches?

Here's another good Q:
How much does RCE charge for the typical 36k/3year maintenance rebuild of T2 & T0? ...just the standard rebuild/refresh with new oil, seals, o-rings, etc. (not a special/custom revalve)

I had a set rebuilt, T2's for an STI. It cost me $160/damper plus shipping. This was a year ago.
Remember that prices do change.
This was also thru RCE. They provide you with the work order number and you then send it to KW in California for the rebuild
