Yes a while ago.

They are sitting (not setting) at my house.  Got the ECS version which is basically a copy of the Forge Motorsports which cost more and are nearly impossible to source because they are infinitely backordered.

Because with the independant rear suspension on the R32 when you lower it the by product is excessive negative camber.  Those adjustable control arms allow you the ability to bring the camber specs back within tolerance, there is no ability to do that with the stock parts.

And trust me it's a must have item because after running for some months without the adjustable control arms the rear tires were toast.

You can see in this pic what I'm talking about with the negative camber in the rear, this is with the rear coilovers set at their lowest "setting"

If the coils are set so low, why does it still look like a 4x4?

Oh wait, maybe that's because it is.
