Nice ride. Ever decide on what you will be doing regarding different springs or coils? What was it you wanted to improve over the RSR downs?

Just my take on the Superdowns...so no one shoot me! lol And maybe someone with Superdowns can chime in also.
But if you're looking for lower than Downs, then I would suggest coilovers or air.
Why? The ride quality you will get from Superdowns will be poor considering the rest of the suspension is stock.
To maintain some semblance of a quality ride, coilovers or air will provide both the look and the quality...Superdowns only give you the look.
Plus the former allow for fine turning of the height should you have any clearance issues.

Once again...just my take on it...I'll duck now as I'm sure the bullets are coming.

Couldn't agree more, while some have said supers are fine for daily driving, I've also seen a few complain about them, especially after riding on them a while and the shocks deteriorating. I would hate to get a Lexus, only to have it ride like a late model Civic. Based on the OP, I wasn't sure if he just wanted lower, or if he wasn't satisfied with how dialed in the front was. The rear appears to be pretty flush to the fender, so unless he wants it tucked, I'm not sure why he would want lower. I'm guessing he wants a more even drop.

I would love to do more to the body but lips and diffusers are quite exepensive right now im really trying to save up for a seibon carbon lip and either a trd rear diffuser or a aimgain one and for the rsr downs i dont have any issues with them, i just wish it had a less gap between the tire and fender bothers me a bit lol

Nothing is wrong with my rears but the fronts bother me kinda high up as i can see a gap wish it just sat flush with the tire but yes im planning on getting some coils soon also
