Didn't WL resolve their issues?

I hope so since I have a set coming.

You don't have much of a choice. Either get them cutom made, or go with Whiteline. We went through a bunhc of teething pains from the early sets, and whiteline was a joy to work with, in terms of getting warranty replacement. A couple of guys here have custom made ones. The whiteline kit isn't as radical and will still allow the use of 16" wheels.

Those are the only two that I am aware of. Six Gun had issues originally but I thought those were resolved. On the other hand, I haven't kept up on things.

Whiteline is only 10mm lowering, but when Scott measured my bump steer in the front of the car, it was minimal.

If I was going racing only, the SIx Gun kit would be my choice because I'd be on 14kg springs with 3" of ground clearance. For my street/track car, I can't get that stiff or low, so the Whiteline kit does the job.

Keep in mind that if you got low enough to need the Six Gun kit, you'd also want to redrill/refabricate the rear crossmember to also be able to lower the rear of the car to match the front. Not cheap.

WL issues have been solved, as JoeT mentioned they were a dream to work with for warranty....not cheap but there is a few JDM ones available too like zerosports etc...i'll stick with WL tho.

There's a remedy for that, as long as your "ball" joints aren't leaking or there's not too much "Play" it's repairable.
