New JRZ RS1's for deepblue

A couple of us ordered some JRZ RS1's about a month ago, they just arrived - woohoo! Ain't they purdy? We're going to try a street/track friendly spring rates and a couple different alignment specs to see which works the best.

Should be able to take some installation pics and some corner balancing, driving impressions in the near future.

I think MSRP is around $5000, but you absolutely should call a shop and work a deal, easier to do with more sets ordered of course.

I think there is someone on 6speed who sells them, a quick search will lead you here: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ew-clicks.html

Had the JRZ RS1 installed yesterday, more or less straight up swap with the X73's that came off. We also upgraded the sway bars and end links while there. One of the difficult areas was the GMG RSR roll bar, it attaches to the rear strut mounts so it had to be loosened to get the rear coilovers replaced. Tuesday it goes in to get corner balanced and aligned.

How do you know you have some good friends? When you are out of town and they cover installing everything while you're away, regardless of brand of car, my motorsport buddies have been among my closest friends.

Putting the turbo on jacks to start the swap


Loosening up the GMG RSR bar to get the rear coilovers replaced, the small boxes on the shelf are JL 6.5" subs which are truly amazing.


The rear X73's and sway bar are removed, the IC pipe is part of the protomotive 1000hp setup.


The rear JRZ RS1 installed along with the end links and stiffer adjustable sway bar. the strut thickness shows how thick the IC pipes are.


Pete Miller pic from earlier that morning, we will be using the GT2 height specs which will lower it a little more than the X73's.
