Default My RC Fsport

Hey CL members,

New to the forum! Just wanted to say hi and say i am happy with my RC fsport. I just lowered it on GS tanabe springs! Springs slips right on, no modifications or any sort. My next mod on mind is to shadow line the chrome on the grill and side windows. Here's how she looks!

How long has it been since you installed the springs? Did the car settle a noticeable amount after driving it for a while?

I lowered mine on the same springs this past Monday and it looks like the drop was more aggressive in the front than the rear. Our cars looks to be very similarly spec'd too, both RWD F sports. While it's hard to tell from your pictures, it looks like your drop was very even - similar wheel gap front and rear.

Anyway, car looks good!

sorry for the late pic update but this is how she looks like after about 1500 miles on the springs. I think it settled in pretty nicely. Now i just need to decide on what wheels to get...

Looking good, ride height is spot on

For consideration, thought I'd drop some pics haha. In all seriousness, look forward to seeing what else you have planned!
