I'm lowered on RS-R TI 2000 Springs..15mm Drop on rear and 35mm drop on front
Wheels are KOYA SF06 9.5 inch rear 8.5 inch front, running original tyres
You don't lose any of the suspension features and the car rides and handles better than before.
Cheers

That's for all the great info. Car sits perfect. What's the offset of your wheels though? And would you know if we went coilovers it would be the same that you don't lose the suspension features? Or is that integrated into the OEM shocks? I have no idea how that stuff works. My 2IS was inferior to all this new technology. Lol

The offset on these wheels can be machined to your specs, within reason of course, when I ordered mine I asked for a standard offset, once fitted they did
stick out past the guard a little which was ok with the stock springs but when I lowered it I did have the very occasional rub of the tyre on the guard so I ended up machining 4mm off to reduce the
offset, this solved the rubbing problem.
As far as coilovers go I'm pretty sure that RS-R sell a coilover that would still work with the suspension features
Another thing about the wheels is that they do supply two types for the rear, one is a concave (which is on my car), and the other a deep concave...
