Rear -30mm to -35mm (-1.2inch to -1.4inch)
Sprints sound like a good compromise. I got the lowerrange of the rsr numbers on my tanabes. Can't go wrong with either it seems

1 step down from limo. Worked out real well for me. Life is too short, if you want to go darker just do it.

I want to drop, however do not want to have to make any other mods to the suspension. If I went with the tanabe 210. Would that work unassisted ?????

Not sure if it's in your budget or not but you may want to look at coilovers. That way you can play with the height and if you want to go lower or even higher at some point you have the option.

It seems like RS-R Downs are the springs that will offer the mildest drop on preface lift F sport. Am I correct or is there another option
Thank you

off topic but those of you lowered on springs only, is your ride compromised? is the longevity of the shocks compromised ?
