Wanted to lower my car on springs and seems most people recommend the rsr brand was curious if there was a big difference between the downs and super downs because from most pic people post they looks pretty much the same

Had the super downs, too much of a stiff ride for my liking plus the roads in the Tri state and dmv area are rough. Switched to the downs and personally like the ride better. Probably an inch to an inch and a half difference.

Do you have an AWD or RWD?



Superdowns are a half in lower in the front, but looks like a full inch lower in the rear.

Super downs are super low. They look killer but the ride is pretty stiff. If I keep the car, im probably going to put it on air next.

Okay, then the stance in the video is how your car will sit.

AWDs have longer front struts, so they will sit higher in the front than RWDs with the same springs. You cannot use pictures of RWDs to determine how your car will sit. RSR has AWD specific springs so you don't end up with a reverse rake.

rsr downs. Super downs will kill your strut life.

The super down is a lot lower.

I had H-Techs on my 3IS which are half down equivalent and even then I thought they were way too aggressive looking back at it. If they made quarter downs, possibly third downs to match Lexus F Sport blue.

I'd be all for that for a high-end professional adult clean look. In fact now that I think about it i'd just not go through the hassle at all.

I'm actually legit looking for a lift kit for my ES. For that premium classy look. Perhaps spring spacers. Third-ups? half-ups?
