Default Raising the car back up/ spring options

I have rsr super downs now and need to raise the car up. I have blown through 3 front lips in the past year. I drive for work daily and drive 20k plus a year. I am looking for new springs with a higher ride height but not factory height. I need the best possible ride as I drive clients around as well. Swift, fsport, h&r?

Invest in coilovers. It will save your shocks and you can go back to stock later on. You can raise the car up and down anytime with coilovers

not a fan of half-downs. if the car isnt side by side with stock height, it would be tough to tell if it was lowered at all.
if you need adjustability, go airbags. changes height at a touch of a button. if you need adjustability, but don't want to dish out a ton of $$$ then get coils.

If you are running RSR SDs on stock dampers/stocks they're going to wear out faster. I would definitely go with a set of coilovers.

I would loose the front lip over before raising the car from Super Down height..... Unless your exhaust is dragging over speed bumps on an angle, it is not to low....

RSR Downs would be a good alternative!

ARK GT-S lowering springs you won't regret it.....perfect for daily in my opinion, rides better than stock so smooth. Been driving up and down drive ways with no problem only a few light scrapes underneath nothing visable when tackling those occassianly steep ones. Best of all an Even drop definelty kills the wheel gap tho paired with 25mm & 20mm spacers is a ++

Heres a crappy photo

Ark Springs are pretty low.

You should go Swift. We have them in stock for you!

ya.. invest in a set of coil overs.. lowering springs are all hit and miss, what if you get another set of springs, install them and find out that you "just" dont' clear it by 1/8". that's just a kick in the nuts
