I have them, and I'm sure they are up to the task. Just try not to go too nuts on the spring rates, and make sure you don't lower too much! What springs did you have in mind for the car?

If you're going to keep it at that height, then the KYBs are a killer buy. I probably wouldn't go more than 400lbs/in in the front or rear. How do you intend on driving this car? Ground Controls work well for me with those shocks, and I autox and have done some HPDEs lately.

You don't "need" a brake upgrade, but most everyone will reccomend one.

You have a 5th gen 4 door right?
