Default Swift Springs or RSR Superdowns?

Been thinking about lowering my car, anyone have any input on which lowering springs are better for daily driving? Both are around the same price.

Swift Springs: Front Drop (-1.6in) Rear Drop (-0.9in)
RSR Superdowns: Front Drop (-1.2inch to -1.4inch) Rear Drop (-0.8inch to -1.0inch)

It would be great to see pictures of all 3 to compare and give a better answer. Of course ride quality makes a difference, ride quality vs looks.


Tannabe
Vs
Swift
Vs
RSR ( regular, downs, super downs)
Vs
... And I guess the Lexus lowering springs

So there are your best 6 options available for springs.

Heres a link to some pictures of the Tanabe's on my Roxy. I've not had any rubbing issues after 3 years with them and there has been absolutely no compromise to comfort. Hope it helps!

Swift will most likely handle better and ride slightly higher, superdowns are more for the low look.

I second the Tanabes. Here they are on my 350 F-Sport (AWD) just after install. They have since settled and are a bit lower
