Default RS*R Down springs.. the first 20 miles..
Finally got my set of RS*R Down springs installed this evening... I have to say, not only does it look great, but it drives great too. The ride is very stock-like until you hit some of the harder bumps. You can definitely tell the car is lowered, but its not slammed. Perfect for a daily driver. It handles great around those long freeway onramps, haha. All i need is a set of wheels!

Pics were taking literally 60 seconds after taking the car off the lift. So im sure there is some settling to do... and i still need to align it.

Do you feel super down were too low for daily driver? I am still undecided. The stock feel is a good indication though.

Ive seen the Super Down springs, and while they look amazing, they might be too low for daily driving.. especially with the horrible roads in the bay area. I wouldnt mind giving them a try, but i wouldnt want to buy another set.. haha

Can you take pics of the front wheel gap at a better angle? I'm very interested in seeing that was the before and after gap. The front wheel gap, is the eyesore on our cars if you ask me. As well, I'm coming from a slammed out VW on coils as my daily. But keeping stock ride is a must for me.

RSR springs have 2 models: Downs or Super Downs.
RSR coilovers so far has only 1 : Sport I

As mentioned from op, these are Downs.
