Default RS*R Springs Installed Plus New Pics!!

Finally got the RS*R Down springs installed! Wheel Warehouse in Anaheim CA hooked me up with install plus alignment. Car looks and handles much better! Ride is slightly stiffer and corners much flatter. Did some more new pics to show off new ride!! Main pic taken at Irvine Spectrum.
New RS*R Down springs!

Car looks good man. Good to hear about the RSR on the 2IS. All I've heard is about the 3IS with them. I like that TRD side seat cushion. I assume it's so things don't fall in the crack?? Where did you get that??

Thanks man. Yes the TRD side filler you can get on ebay under TRD seat gap filler and they have different designs.

RSR Down springs are a mild drop--1 in. I didn't want to lower it too much because then the car becomes impractical to drive. I had 2 lowered cars in the past that were too low and I had to watch every speed bump, driveway, dip, it was a hassle.

I think it's looks great, it should be very similar to an F Sport springs (Blue) drop - how's is the ride quality? btw you need to update your ride signature to included the RSR =)

Ride is good its a little stiffer which is what I wanted, and cornering is flatter. My car had the luxury pkg suspension which was too soft. I will update signature!
