If I had to do it over again, I might have opted for the RSR Downs (not the superdowns). Although my ride quality is AFAIK the same, I think overall...it's about a 1/4 inch too low for my taste.
Your car is RWD correct? I was considering going with the Super Down only because I have AWD and it sits higher to begin with. I don't know if the regular Downs lower the car enough.
Haha...yes (for me) but just a tad. I wish this car had a "fine tune" adjustment for the rear. When I lowered my Corvette (the rear) was a simple matter of two bolts that were easily accessible. If I could, I would tweak the rear upwards about 1/4"

Also, don't cut the bump stops, that's what stops ur car from bottoming out and messing up ur undercarriage.
I hear ya, I had my garage queen sitting pretty low, looked great but what a PITA:

Just looks so off with that stock gap. Just my opinion . Always grew up modding my cars . At 35 still doing it haha
I'm 42 and still doing it You're either a Modder or your not, I think most people that join car forums are into Mods.

Yes, RWD. I only mentioned the RSR Downs because my understanding is that they provide just slightly less drop that the Tanabes. It's not that I'm totally unhappy with the Tanabes (far from it) I just prefer the rear to be slightly higher than the front to give it more of an aggressive stance. It's really hard to be critical of these springs until the wheels go on but that won't be until March.
What's the ride quality like once 20's go on with the Tanabes?
I'm sure it will suffer a bit but that's normal, I won't be able to report that until sometime in March. I do not have an ETA on the wheels, ALL of Vossen is waiting on the new CV3-R's to come in.

I'll chime in here, if I may. You will definitely feel the road more with 20s and the ride may be a tad bit harsh over broken pavement but still comfortable enough for daily driving. Of course, this will also depend on the tires you choose. I have Conti DWS 245/35 and 275/30. You will not retain your stock ride, as most ask this when lowering with springs and upsizing wheels.
