Yup. DSE at all four corners, and Belltech 2" drop shocks. If the suspension doesn't travel much I should be good on the rubbing, but only one way to find out for sure!

Which Belltech drop shocks did you install? I'm not sure what the difference between these two are but I think they both will work. I was going to go with the 2209 but found the other ones and tried to compare but there are not many reviews for either shock.

I had to go back and dig up my order from Summit -- I used the 2209IH in the rear, and the 10102I up front.

But here's something odd: looking at Summit Racing now, they no longer list the 10102I for G3 applications, but they did when I bought them. Don't know why they would have changed that, though some of the reviews gripe about it not fitting their G2 cars. IIRC all I had to do was remove the oversized dust cover, and they gave me no trouble.

I'll crawl under there when I get home and take gander to be sure.

Yep, that's them all right.

Thanks for the confirmation! I'll order the rear ones for sure.

I think I'm good, for now anyway, with the front shocks. I installed new KYB shocks and they seem to be good during driving.
