Killer B oil pickup and baffle arrived last night, I'll get Alin some pics of that and the ECA when I get home this evening. Only thing left is getting my hands on a Crawford AOS which is proving difficult. Should know today or not if I can get it or not, if not I'm researching the Perrin unit as I have found it in stock and it's almost 80 bucks cheaper than the Crawford. I just don't know if it works as well as the Crawford or not so if anyone has used it please chime in and let me know the pros/cons. Thanks!

Is yours the AOS or just the catch can set up? I won't lie I haven't researched Moroso much because the Crawford unit is so solid...thus why it's on backorder. I'm definitely all ears at this point because I'm down to two options for the Crawford...one is a shop that I paid for it and they may not be able to get it here by the 10th and the other is Ebay where I'll likely end up with the wrong version because the guys that sell stuff on there are idiots. I should hear back from the guy on the Crawford in a bit and then it'll be decision time because I need to get this ordered this weekend so I know it will get to me. Thanks Spamby!

This is the smaller version but it's cheaper...any maintenance with yours Spamby? That's the one thing I love about the Crawford is you install it and you shouldn't have to touch it again.

Moroso 85510 dual cans. Bought it from a vender on here. Don't remember who it's been long enough ago.
I just dump the cans every oil change. They have ball valves on the bottom to do this. I've permanently installed two 3/8 hoses from this valves to the bottom if the car so I can easy dump them into a drain pan.

My RCE Yellows and bump stops are going on tomorrow afternoon, I'll post up some pics when I get home if it isn't pouring down the rain. Gotta find a reputable place to get an alignment done in a couple weeks that won't rake me over the coals...still researching that one. Pretty excited to get the springs on, did some figuring today and I definitely shouldn't scrape on my driveway with the 10mm drop, should be good to go!

No and as long as it's not 20mm or more I'm fine.

Also, the drop should be pretty close to 10mm, I have a 2012 and the 2011-12 models were lower than the other years (this is on RCEs site and RSD if you don't believe me). Just wanted to clear this up for those considering these springs.

It's not more than that. Yeah it is a nice drop also I have a hatch so that may be why it dropped more than 10mm after they settled. Good springs though. Also it doesn't help the offset on my wheels is aggressive !!
You will notice that it's lower once you sit in it and the center of gravity from the drop is phenomenal makes a big difference. Corners become so much easier

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it as this and the pitch stop are going to be my only suspension mods in the near future. I think my plan is just to wait and do all the suspension work when it's time to replace the stock shocks/struts. We'll see though, I may get bored and want something to do in a year or so and go ahead and throw on new sways and endlinks.

Added the initial after shot, obviously not much difference right now as things have to settle. I'll add a two week pic to the original post to show the difference. Definitely feel the differences RIPsta, felt like I was driving a whole different car.
