It looks like Evasive is carrying this part now. Velocity shop is back ordered until April

Other option if you don't want to wait and are willing to pay an extra $20 bucks.

Just make sure you're getting part number 6621. Part 6622 is ONLY an RCA and not an offset camber adjuster.
There's also a rear RCA from hardrace...
http://www.jhpusa.com/store/pc/viewP...idcategory=567 I'm also curious about this part. But, for me it doesn't matter since I'm not lowered yet, maybe next season...

Have any of you guys ever tried going to softer spring rates? Everyone out on the West coast runs so much more spring than on the East Coast and seems a lot of the real successful guys are running softer setups even when using Hosiers or other slicks. Maybe you could try less spring in the rear and a little more sway bar? Or jump the rates down 2k.
BTW I've got a set of 800lb 2.5" ID Hyperco springs I need to get rid of. They are 6" long. I believe 800lbs is just a hair over 14k. I'd be glad to sell the complete set or split them up if you wanted to try something out.

This is, of course, coming from the guy who doesn't own a set of coilovers

Am I getting this wrong, but isn't the damper more important than spring rates at this point? HKS is valved to be super aggressive, but has softer springs.
Either way, just want to know if rear RCA is really necessary because I am very close to installing my coilovers soon.

Depends on your definition of necessary. I am hoping they improve traction over bumpy surfaces ... by how much, I'll have to try it out to see.

I'm not sure what the difference is with/without the RCA plate. When I got them installed, I just had the whole thing put in together at the same time.

I ran 13k & 11k springs and it was plenty stiff with R-Comps. The "west coasters" do have an erroneous love for stiffer spring rates. Its even embedded in their rule set where stiffer springs draw higher point penalties.
Here's a quote from Carroll Smith's Tune to Win, "I wish that there were hard and fast rules for the determination of optimum (spring) rates. To my knowledge, there are none. Optimum rates vary with gross vehicle weight, power to weight ratio, aerodynamic downforce generation, tire width, track characteristics, driver preference and technique and, quite probably, the phase of the moon. My basic system is to run the softest rear springs that will keep the car off the track - and maintain some semblance of camber control - at the ride height that I want to run. I then balance the understeer/oversteer with the front springs - and equal rate front and rear bars. I try to do this in long, medium speed corners so as to simulate steady state conditions at low enough road speeds so that aerodynamic downforce doesn't confuse the issue (say 60 mph).....This gives the basic front and rear ride (spring) rates."
We could go on and on, but this is already off topic. More pictures and video please!
