Anyone have RSR Down springs?
Ive been looking at various makes of springs and found the RSR Down springs will be exactly what Im looking for. They are a mild drop .8in front .6in rear. I want to take away that gaping wheel well gap but still drive the car as a practical daily driver.
Does anyone have these springs and how is the ride and everyday driveability?

I think they may be only available for the third gen?? Teinh h tech drops 1.0 and 0.6 I think. Never mind, Im wrong. I found them on andysautosport. They seem common for the third gen though so I would voyage over there and see what thise folks say.

Cool. Yea that's what I want--little bit lower but not too low so can drive everyday without problems. Also want little stiffer, as my car has the luxury pkg and suspension is too soft. Were you able to install the springs without modifying the suspension (aside from new alignment)? STILLEN is telling me I have to modify the rear suspension??

I have RSR Down Springs on my IS250 and it was a really simple installation from my understanding, no other modification to the suspension. I just had to get an alignment a month or two later. I also had to get wheel spacers just because the stock 18s didn't look good with the wheels tucked so far into the car. I've had them for about 1.5 years with no issues at all.
Just a warning, depending on your wheel fitment and alignment you may have to modify your rear fenders. After I got the spacers and an alignment, my rear passenger tire rubbed like crazy so I had to get the rear fenders shaved.

Nah, it was a quick easy swap onto my stock shocks, as long as you have the compression tool for the springs youre good to go. And I didnt need to modify my rear suspension, only if your rear wheels are too big, but otherwise you should be fine.
