Looks great! Those 20s with the downs fill the wheel wells nicely!

@vvasudev Thanks for the post! I’ve been thinking of getting the RSR down springs (T996D) for my ‘15 rc350 AWD. I’ve seen some people also purchase a rear camber control arm as well. Is that something you guys have thought about to help set the alignment in the rear?

I’ve noticed most people go for the APC rear control arm sold by RR Racing.

I noticed that my RC had too much negative camber for my liking after I switched my RSR springs for coilovers. I bought the Figs camber arms (sure the SPC arms are great too, I just love that Figs orange) to help correct that and preserve some tire life. It might be over kill and if you can get your alignment within factory specs you probably don't need them.

Question for those who have done springs or coilovers to lower the car....I installed the RS-R Downs just weeks after purchasing my car. Would the stock alignment after it being lowered have anything to do with the slight side-to-side disruption I get when going over minor bumpy surfaces at speed? Like an expansion joint or something similar, not potholes....it seems to do more side wiggle motion that you feel in the seat of your pants from what I remember before I installed the springs. There is definitely some negative camber up front which i'm fine with, but the rears look relatively neutral.
