I feel it's too soft/bouncy especially road is not smooth. Can't really do much when you go aftermarket springs only. I heard RSR also has coilover that keeps AVS function but costs like 2k.

Lowered on RSR Downs.
No rubbing issues at all.

But HUGE SCRUBBING ISSUE... Feathering the tires hard and fast as well as the inner 1 inch. Anyone else going through tires in 4000 miles? I am feeling like i am getting closer to an answer through diagnosing multiple options. Been aligned with the tire install. All were on spec when next tires went on. Only thing out is the Caster. 4.9 deg (oem says 8 - 9 deg) An alignment specialist is saying my scrub point is off and that its most likely from the offset of wheels.... I like my offest. Its nothing crazy. Just pushed it out flush. I feel as though the only thing out is the caster and that it has to be the issue since it will cause feathering when turning as the tire doesnt lay over into the camber like it should... I am chasing my tail. I feel like I am starting to sound crazy. 3 sets of tires in 12000 miles is unaffordable though.

Not really, the RSR Down Springs keep the ride about the same. It’s a TAD bit stiffer. The cornering is better and noticeable though.

Probably Super Down Springs or coilovers. Definitely wouldn’t recommend super downs though as they tend to drastically shorten the lifespan of the shocks and you’ll look pretty slammed but it’s a personal preference.

do you think i'd have the same scrubbing and feathering issue with 18s

would spacers help or make things worse for you?

your experience sounds terrifying.
did you your extreme tire wear/feathering start after the accident? or after the RSR downs??

Hi Josh, thank you for replying on some of my inquiries. I want to go ahead and get some RSR downs. Wanted to see what minimal alignment kit parts would be needed. Thank you in advance
