I would run out and get one, but I still need to be able to get those control arm bolts off to put in the eccentric bolts.
I purchased the kit from Tirerack. It looks like they only sell the Sport Kit, so that explains the extreme drop.
I love the look and the ride, I just wanted to warn everyone that it's lower than I was expecting. As long as nothing rubs, I'll leave it as it is.
Did you happen to notice which spring pads you had in the rear? Some of the Crossfires came with "1-dot" spring pads, which are the thinnest. So if you bought some "4-dot" pads, you'd raise the rear about 12mm. See the part numbers and respective thickness, below:
Front:
1-dot = A 210 321 01 84 (5mm)
2-dot = A 210 321 02 84 (9mm)
3-dot = A 210 321 03 84 (13mm)
4-dot = A 210 321 04 84 (17mm)
5-dot = A 210 321 05 84 (21mm)
Rear:
1-dot = A 210 325 01 84 (5mm)
2-dot = A 210 325 02 84 (9mm)
3-dot = A 210 325 03 84 (13mm)
4-dot = A 210 325 04 84 (17mm)
