Would I be correct to assume I will have to organise fitting myself?
Put me down, not in a hurry to get these, will give me time to save up more monies
Also what height will this setup lower my car by?

Correct, you can do it yourself or have some one install it for.
If you are going to reuse the parts from the oem suspension (e.g. top hats) you might want to get some one to do the install for you as it involves taking the suspension apart.

I believe the blacks lower the car by 5mm and the yellows lower the car by 15mm.
The rear has the ability to raise or lower the height on the struts.

Should be able to install oem springs on the bilsteins, don't know how much of an improvement it would be over the stock struts.

Few reviews up on NASIOC and the usual places where people have stated after having this installed in the car, the amount of firmness wasn't as much as they were expecting.

If my rates for the 2009 springs are correct, the blacks are 25% firmer up front and 20% firmer on the rears.

Have been looking for this, not a lot of info on them.
Have only found one post that vaguely mentions a rate, but need to confirm if its correct or not.

Spent a few hours looking for this info last night Clem and I haven't been able to get anything more than people agreeing that the damping is much better than stock, but not over kill.

Might look at sending an email across to find out a bit more on the valving/damping from Miles at RCE.

Just teach her to reverse park every where, worked for me when my car was low

Jon, I'll PM Kim about his spring choice so that it can be updated in the first post.
iMPREZUH and Jon911 like this.
