The drop spindles and the RS kit don't work together. Yes, I could make it work but why buy Ron's kit. Sure the camber angles may improve but the shocks and spring rate were calculated to work with out it. You would need to lengthen the bump stop, increase the spring length... So, in theory the camber will improve but you've messed up three things for one theoretical improvement.

I have the GTV6 rack and I have eliminated all the kickback. Now, it feels kinda artificial to drive the power steering car. It's only in parking lots and parallel parking where you would ever notice anything. I can tell more about the suspension from the feel of the manual rack than the power. It's like the power steering tends to mask understeer.

As far as I know, I am the only transaxle car running drop spindles and the RS Racing suspension kit.

Grant, start eating ramen noodles three times a day and get an RS kit. Time is more important than money.
