Offset is based on the centerline. You added 1.5 inches, but it moves the centerline only 0.75 inches.

45 - (0.75*25.4) is +26mm offset.

If the lip was 2.5 inches, then the final offset is +13mm

Yea that's a fair price ! I ended up getting mine the stock grey! Needed work so I rebuilt them myself ! Meaning I took them apart and put them back together my self and got the face powder coated and the lips polished professionally

You'll still have wheelgap. And everyone who gets RS thinks that its necessary to be HELLAFLUSH BRO and that looks especially awful when not megadumped

I don't know of any quality coilovers for GE....IMO Skunk2/Tein Basic through SS-P/Megan/KSport/D2/Buddy Club are all garbage.

Other companies that make coilovers in general or for the GE?

F&F is garbage too IMO

I mean...when I get my GD...I'm buying the J's Racing shock/spring combo but that will not lower me much, as much as I love being low...I love proper handling more.

If there were Koni Yellows and Ground Control coilover sleeves for the GE I'd recommend that.
