He can sell the kit and you can assemble it. It's not too bad...let him know Vince sent you, maybe he can work something out

**Update May 9, 2013**

Just wanted to share some photos Ravi sent me. I asked him to 'surprise' me and he did. Nice to have a colour scheme no one has atm...and sparkle stickers and cool fittings add +hp. This kit literally adds +15whp.

Next step is to install so I can get my car off jack stands. More updates to follow.

I wonder how loud the compressor is. It'd be great to be able to tuck it in the spare tire area or in the rear tray area so you don't lose trunk space.

hey Vinz, I have been looking into this kit for a while, saving up, but I have a bit of a concern, considering this is an addition to the top of the strut, that means theoretically you loose a good amount of suspension travel. I may be mistaken, but even with the RCA it seems the distance the "cup" off sets the struts away from the body would decrease suspension travel? I make my conclusion based on the write up a member did increasing his suspension travel by using Form and Function civic top hats that let your strut sit further up into the body, and so far so that they just clear the hood when shut. given that, anything that would push the strut away from the body would decrease travel. have you considered this? looking good non the less!
