But I didn’t buy them because read that people said they had the issue of tires rubbing on car, anyone has any experience with them ? Also the drop is bigger than swift and rsr down from the pictures. The wheel gap on top of the wheel is smaller than on the sides at the wheel center height. Bigger drop plus softer springs and it was easy to believe in what people said about rubbing.
Yes, those were downs based on the box and the sticker on the spring. I live in south Florida and we have overall decent roads but when it comes to highways the car felt very bouncy. Also, I used a reputable shop that does a lot of work on the suspension. Also, the wheel gap was great, not too low like super downs. See pic below (before/after)
I am on RSR Downs and the also live in South FLA and the ride is not harsh at all, I drive mainly highway and the feel is just a bit firmer than stock. Surprised that you found it bouncy with the RSR.

it was your car example (wheel gap look)that convinced me to go with rsr, it looks even and looks really nice. But unfortunately chicago is not S florida. In a few roads around my place it was a pleasure driving it. But the first time when I went off them -not anymore
half kg doesn’t sound bad should be pretty close to stock. Would be great to have opportunity to ride in a car with different springs before cashing in 1000$ to put spring on and the remove and put back the stocks. If someone wants more drop in the front they can put rsr in the front. The drop is more but they are still soft. Softer then oem backs.
The main reason to run Swift due to mine being a luxury spec model with AVS. I wanted to retain the stock AVS shocks and from experience usually when you run lowering springs(LOW ones) the rates tends to be significantly higher to prevent bottoming out of your stock shocks. Swift avoid that with a conservative lowering height while increasing the spring rate a little. So far i have not encounter any bottoming out from the dilapidated roads where i live. I've also checked other car make forums with people running Swift springs and the reviews tends to be positive with some even saying it's one of the most consistent in spec on the market.

Interesting I was just wondering of the compare where the Tanabe's stood. Yes you are right about any wheel and/or tire change they rub. Also why I ran the Swift and use very small spacing to prevent the Rake look. I hate that Rake squat look.

Since tanabe are the softest/closest to oem in the back. I would prefer them. So if I stick to factory wheels and tires I won’t have issues? Interesting. Might put tanabes then.
I just installed RSR down springs (and reindexed 70% of the control arm bushings) over the weekend. My wife could not tell the difference riding in the car with me yesterday. I personally expected the car to be feel much stiffer/busier, but in Normal it felt almost completely stock.
