I guess they lower the 'entire' car, not just decrease the angles?

Super trick huh??
Why would you get those? so many options to lower a car. Good springs and shocks will improve handling over stock.
A little negative camber is not such a bad thing.

duh! But I think is in relation to the suspension arms staying in the angles they were designed to be within, rather than a huge increase from just lowering with springs.
Yes, the Supertrick does take away from it!

I wonder how much they cost. Only if that one company still made their drop forks. That seems like a much easier alternative than replacing this whole thing.

Re: Interesting, anyone used these? (hondakar2)
interesting.. looks good to me.
i wonder if you can use these with already lowered cars..
but i guess you can always raise the suspension up if you have the coilover..

very similar to this, but not quite as fancy.....</TD></TR></TABLE>I remember those well. Thought they were good sell items. Guess not since they quit making them.

Re: Interesting, anyone used these? (Arsenal)
I've got Skunk2 drop springs on my R now. Add those to the mix & I'll have to weld on some skid plates. Imagine, an R looking like a rolling sparkler. 
Ultimate rice! But honestly they look like a great product. Where were they 5 years ago?

They've been around for a long time.
Ryane Motorsports is clearly seen on the arms in the pics and perhaps they need to hire a new marketing PR guy.
I mean seriously, it's probably a good product, but what's with skittles, taste the rainbow colors?
I don't know what they cost, but for the most part, people probably aren't willing to pay the cost of admission when brand new lowering springs are less than $300shipped these days.
It would be an elegant solution for those who desire a lower stance with the stock suspension while maintaining the streetability but more importantly it wouldn't decrease the suspension travel as it would with lowering springs....that is unless you mod to extend the tophat.

Those would be ideal for my daily driver, i dont want to harden the ride or decrease the shock travel by lowering it on springs...these seem like the ideal solution as i want to lower it purely for cosmetic reasons.
I said I don't want a title!

If you just want to lower a touch, why not get the Koni shocks and set them on the bottom perch?
Replacing all of those arms seems like a lot of work and money for something that is an unknown (at this point in time).
If I lower the car, I want the camber gain the wishbone gives you. I don't want a car that's 1.5" lower with almost zero static camber.
