Just seems awkward they didnt supply correct fitting boots.
We found with the Impreza chassis not to lower the car too much and its not an issue. They suggest ( I agree) that the 15mm lowering works well. I'll see how things work at that before going to 20mm.

Finally someone started taking pictures with a decent camera. Vendors use this as an example and stop taking photos with potatoes.

Im truly not being a **** in saying this but at this point when one is trying to benefit from good dampers I dont feel weight difference matters. (WITHIN REASON)

But if you say to me "hey just for shits and giggles , Im curious what it weighs".....then I can understand it.

With that said, I will weigh it Monday.

Since you only have 2 sets does that mean you wont be trying them out on the csg car? If you do throw them on at some point I would love to go for a ride lol.
