Default Lowering springs with RCAs question

When I bought my car , it came with Ltuned springs uninstalled , I search and found that the springs don't lower the car as much .

I was wondering since the exact motorsports RCA lowers the car a extra inch , would it look right with those springs and those RCAs on with 19s ?? Or should I just save up and get some quality coilovers

Thank you

I believe Ltuned springs lower about an inch.

SAGE front and rear RCAs lowers 30mm (1.1 inches). If you want the front lowered more....EXACT's front RCA is 38mm (~ 1.5 inches.).

PM and see pics by CK6speed. He has stock suspension with EXACT front RCA...and SAGE rear RCA with staggered 20s....looks good.

The RCA will definitely lower the car in addition to the springs as thick as they are. If they are 30mm, then it will lower 1.1" in addition to whatever the springs lowered. If they are 38mm, than 1.5" more. I've actually seen one that is about 20 or 25mm as well which lower a little less. However, at that point your OEM alignment adjustment arms more than likely will NOT have enough adjustment to get you back with OEM alignment specs.
