Thumbs up RCE Yellows!!!

hay drivers!!! i just put RCE Yellow springs on my car and car handling changed 180 degrees!!!!
ppl say its kind a bumpy but to me it's so much better then other spring i had!!! (Tein S(hity) Tech)!!!
im 120% Recommending this spring to the ppl!!!!
if any of u guys out there and going 2 get springs get RCE Yellow or Black!!!!
little Pricy, but u get more then what u pay for!!!!!
Thanks RCE with Great Product and Priceless Customer Service!!!!!

were all those smilies really necessary? and is it that hard to type out PEOPLE?

the yellows are great springs when handling is at the top of your priority list but being in socal myself, the springs were just waaaaaaay too harsh for daily driving. I hope you have better results than I did but being a daily driver, my man boobs just couldn't take the trampoline-like effects.

any other suspension mods in addition to the RCE yellows? I'm interested in doing these but from what i've read you need to do some additional mods to get correct suspension use like top hats and or camber plates. what size sway bar and endlinks you running?

Good to hear. When they were just out everyone raved about them and then I heard nothing. I've had them for about 1 1/2 years and love em. If the fiance doesn't find them too bouncy then I would be a b!tch if i did (and I do like to watch em bounce). I truly don't find the ride that harsh and the roads around here are not great. I guess I expect with a good handling car there will be some bounce. It helps wake me up on my ride to work.

ohlins=$$$ if you can afford it go for it...if I were you I would look into TICs Coilover, RCE Tarmac 2s, or if you really want just a strut spring combo...Koni Inserts and RCE Springs...either black or yellow. Those would be the winning choices IMO.


Kind Regards,
Ryan

Some pics of the RCE V2 Yellows.
Anyone by chance running this spring with the RCE lowering camberplates?
If so please post pics and review.

Thanks,

Hammer
