We have 5 more modules in stock, and can have them shipped out tomorrow, with or without the extended knobs.

Can you tell me how it launches now? esp off i would expect more wheelspin due to less squat available and less contact patch on road due to neg camber, is this correct??

Not at all. i don't "drag" with the car in that setting. This is actually a perfect example of why the Jangynized RENN box blows the others away. All you do is adjust the rake to where you want it to get max traction UNDER the conditions you need. You can lift the front, distributing the weight to the rear. You can lift the rear, adding room to squat. On and on. Overall, in dumped mode, yes you are right to an extent. The added negative camber really only shoves the one side deeper into the pavement. That is why I run 18s with not too low of profile. If you are running 19s, with less profile (i.e. stiffer walls), then you would expect the wheel to "lift" a bit on the outside.

A 3 inch lip in the rear is not a problem with the module, 2k6E55 also as a 3" rear lip and is lowered with the module. If you start to rub, then just raise your setting to the level up and your good to go!

No rubbing at all and I have my car sits pretty low.

Damn, looks really nice like that. That is LOW.

You might need camber bolts too, just by the look of those wheels, you're running over -2 degrees.

I'm getting alignment done tomorrow and we'll see where it is in my normally low setting. That pic is a bit deceptive, since the front end leans as it turns. I am pretty sure that i will want MORE negative camber (especially on the rear) even when it is dropped some. We'll see tomorrow.
