Default im torn between rsr down and super down lowering springs

I have stock wheels and am not sure if i want to upgrade the wheels yet. I also have the RX fsport and i think it looks cool that the wheels kinda match. I also dont want to be scrapping every where. I do like the lower look. I have been on here looking at everyones build threads and i cant pull the trigger on what to order.

I almost got the super down springs but I'm glad I didn't. I ended up getting the down springs and they really dropped the car to a nice stance. There are no issues at all on stock wheels and the wheel gap in virtually gone. The ride is very comfortable and very close to stock.

Agree with the above ^, wheel gap almost flush & nice ride. Unless you live where there are no large speed bumps or steepish driveways Super Downs would be a mistake in my opinion. With downs I scrape over the odd speed bump & have to be selective about driveways I use.

I on the other hand love my super downs! I love not having a wheel gap and love the way it sits. I don't really drive on any rough roads so I guess they just work for me.

I have Super Down and i LOVE it

I BARELY scrape...just the mid-pipe on some driveways...just profile your car on a driveway? I easily clear speed bumps just driving straight at it, slowly. I don't have to profile on speed bumps at all

No fender scraping at all, stock F-Sport wheels.


However, i do want to get 25mm/20mm wheel spacers...
