Any experience with the RB suspension package?

Ive tried searching and so far people love the sways and i dont get too much feedback about the springs though.

Im interested in getting the whole suspension package but want to get more personal experience from those who have used the set up. Its not that I dont trust RB I just want something very functional for the street and the track. I dont want to be slammed just nice looking and very functional.

Thanks in advance for any info on this stuff.

So far as I know on their site they claim a half inch drop front and back with a slightly stiffer spring rate. So wont look slammed by any means.

The general idea w/Racing Beat's spring set is that there is a 1/2" drop, as previously stated, and the rate is about 10% stiffer. The stock spring has a 5" travel rating. With only 4 1/2" of travel left, RB only added stiffness that was necessary. I have the swaybars and they ride and handle real nice. I'll be installing the springs next. My living room looks like an RX-8 speed shop!!
