Don't need to replace shocks, anything 500ish and below is a good price for springs and installation

I am wanting to lower my 2017 GS350 Fsport and i've been reading up on R-SR lowering springs....I just want to get rid of the wheel gap, not slam it and still keep a smooth ride. Anyone have these installed yet and what do you think? Penny for your thoughts.....

I have a 13 GS350 nonFsport and dropped on RS*R springs (super down). RS*R makes two models, Down Suspension & Super Down. Down Suspension doesn't drop your car as long as Super Down. I went with Super Down and it dropped it about 1.8" and will probably sit even lower after a few months or so to maybe 1.9" -2"? The ride is like stock to me and thats with stock shocks. Be sure to buy SPC Camber kits for both the left and right rears, otherwise they will still be off after an alignment.

Here is a photo of my RSR super downs on a nonFsport:
It looks like there is still a gap but there isn't. The black area between the wheel and the fender is filled by the tire wall, obviously. So there is no gap at all.

did anyone have issues using oem shocks for such a aggressive drop on the super downs? I have swift springs right now, and I am planning to switch to super downs, but don't want to wear out the oem shocks prematurely.

What size wheels are those? 20’s? I’m got a 13 gs350 fspot and I’m debating on getting full suspension or the rsr super down. If that’s the super down with 20’s then I might as well save some money.
