Is this a direct bolt on?
I assume it will allow me to get lower?

No, this is not a direct bolt on as the RSR shocks have hemispherical joints at the bottom of the shock as opposed to the stock rubber ones. You will need to purchase the RSR adapters from Mode Motorsport in order to use these shocks.

Any pros or cons of putting RSR shocks on a turbo?

The valving leaves a lot to be desired. These are old school linear valved shocks.

have them rebuilt and revalved w/ a digressive setup tuned to the springs and car weight and usage. The difference is night and day.

What are the RSR adapters from MODE?
Are they longer bolts and ?
Just curious what they look like to go from the stock OE bushing to the heim joint rsr bushing.
Digressive is good for the street but the linear are better for the track!

Thanks,

Most will disagree w/ that assessment, most modern race shocks are digressive
