Default RCA drop compensation

I am looking at picking up RCAs for my LS brakes but do not want to lower my car anymore than it is and am not on coilovers. Has anybody been in the same boat and what did you do? My only idea is spring spacers or helper springs but that's an idea I'm hesitant to say out loud.


Thanks!

try the 17 or 18 mm RCA not the 30mm.

17mm is still over half an inch of drop. I'm wanting to compensate for any drop regardless.

The 17mm is barely noticeable. But that's just about your only option. Raising the car with helper springs would be way too much work for what you're trying to achieve.
