It's understood that half downs are the most mild drop for our cars. But what is the second most mild drop right behind the half downs?

Regulars downs?
Tanabe nf210?
Tein h tech?
Swift?

Thanks

Tein H Tech then Swift

Downs = S Tech = NF210 with minimal differences

i am swapping from NF210 to Half Downs tonight. I can measure the difference if you want.

That would be AWESOME!!!

Here is an opposite question. Besides the RSR super downs... which one is the second most drop?

CLUM

Ok the NF210's measured 125mm from the ground to the front bumper
The Half Downs measured 147mm from the ground to the front bumper.

The half downs are 22mm higher in the front, or 0.86" higher.

This is where measured, right in front of the driver side tire, where that tire air deflector sits.

CLUM, what wheel/tire setup are you on?

CLUM

I'm on OEM 17x7.5 IS350 non-F sport wheels.

My measurements from the ground to the car may not be very applicable to others since everyone is running various different wheel setups, but at least the net change measurement between the two springs is there. Too bad i don't have stock spring measurements on my setup..

^^^ did you finish your install yet for front and back?

CLUM

Yup, rear measured at 172mm from the rear bumper to the ground on the NF210
195mm from the bumper to the ground for the Half Downs.
So Half Downs were 23mm higher than the NF210 in the rear.

Call it an even 22-ish mm difference front and back between NF210 to Half Downs.

The drop is DEFINITELY mild, but still can tell it's lowered,which is good.

Here's the car on Tanabe NF210:



And here are bad garage shots with the RSR Half Downs:

CLUM, if you had to guesstimate how much lower then stock are the half downs in the front?

CLUM

RSR says they are a 1" drop. I would say they are in the ballpark of 3/4" to 1" drop. It's a super mild drop! here's an outdoor pic with the Half Downs:

Looks good! Give them a little time and they will drop slightly more.
