Here is a comparison between the two for those of you who wonder if the RB lowering strut mounts are good enough for your cars.

I'm glad you made this comparison! In the before photos was your car at stock height? How many miles are on the struts/ springs? Any rubbing? I'm thinking about lowering my front a inch then the "1/2" rb mounts. Then praying that I don't need camber plates. Your ride height looks good.

Does Racing Beat sell strut mounts? I couldn't find it on their website.
