Any reason you are ruling out the Tanable NF210?

They drop the car 1.4" in the front and 1" on the rear which seems to fix the reverse rake the car has from factory. They are only 5% stiffer than stock which will help with comfort level.

Just lowered it on RSR Down Springs. The ride quality is a little bit more bouncy (barely noticable) but stiffens up quite well during Sport+ mode. Overall, I love the ride quality and agree with some folks when i say it should come like this from factory.

Can you take a picture of the wheel tuck and camber on the stock wheels and tires after the drop?

Been considering a mild drop on the factory wheels and tires but dont want too much negative camber tuck.

Is the factory camber adjustable?

Not adjustable and a lot more noticeable in the rear with more aggressive wheels. As far as I know, there is no camber kit. I got a decent deal on tires, so for now, I just plan to buy more tires.

To all rocking the RS*R Downs.

I wanted to know what the wheel gap is on the front and rear after the drop please!!!! Were you able to get the car's alignment to or within factory specs?

I am really torn between going with RS*S Down vs Tein H-Tech. I live in Chicago (just outside) and some of the things I need to consider is ground clearance in winter. I am also concerned about tire wear and alignment to specs in very important.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what the factory specs are for the alignment but I managed to get 0.05deg Fwd (left and right) and 0.18deg rear (left and right)...

Thanks for the pix! I thought it was going to be lower for some reason.I love the way the super downs look but can't imagine driving it on a daily.

Debating on RSR half downs or Tanabe NF210. Is Tanabes quality up to par with RSR?
