so, i installed f-sport springs on the car and the drop is negligible and soooooo, i'm looking for another spring set that will lower the car to give me 1 to 1.5 finger gap between the fender and the wheel. the f-sport springs that i have on now give me a super negative rake and they allow for too much room between the fender and the tire.
so, i want something that won't give a negative rake, give an even gap between the tires and the fender, and provide for a comfortable ride. so far i'm leaning towards swift springs or ark gt-s. i have heard that rs*s springs leave negative rake, similar to how my car looks now, although a bit lower.
anyhow, any suggestions would be greatly appreciative! my largest priorities are ride comfort, no camber adjustments, and something tastefully dropped. below is a photo of my car as she sits right now.
Did you look at RSR half downs at all? I feel like my half downs are lower than your current stance.
i haven't actually and only because i thought that it would give a similar drop to what i have now. i suppose that i should pay greater attention to the rs*s half-downs. thanks!
Here's mine with Tein H TECH which has the same drop as F Sport.
Go any lower and you ruin handling, and your bushings (if you don't take the time to really do it right which 99% don't) You also ruin the look if you go to low.
Goes from premium factory sport to slammed used car gangster look REALLY fast once you start dropping more.

thanks for the information. you car looks beautiful -- i wish i had gone with white, although at least matador red mica is a rare color! is hein s tech much lower than h tech? i'm debating perhaps rs*s half downs because i do want the front lowered just a bit more, although with the half downs there is always the risk that the car will look stock.
anyway, thank you -- i really appreciate the help!

Thanks mine is actually Silver Lining but it looks white I suppose due to the picture.
thanks all for the suggestions and photos. out of the photos i've seen here and elsewhere in the hour or so that i've been researching, i think rs*r downs are where i want to be. not too low, not too high.
@doodlebug, your car looks great, although the drop is very similar to the drop i have now on f-sport springs and i wanted to go just a bit lower.
@sheddy, thanks for sharing, i like your drop the best out of the bunch.
@e46ct, your car is beautiful either way -- silver or white -- great looking car!
I'd research swift springs too, before making a decision. I am currently on half downs, and I'm happy with them (rides close to stock). Swift Springs are slightly lower (I think between RSR half downs and downs). Swift springs seem to get good reviews.

thanks for the heads up. i'll definitely keep the swift springs in mind.
