Looking to lower the GS, I have a AWD model F-Sport. Nebula Gray. I really like the look of the matte gunmetal VBM8's from Velgen on the car, but I am not sure if the RSR down springs will be enough for the look I am going for. Would like it to turn out like the pic below.

Super downs scare me off due to the camber issues, I don't really want to replace expensive rubber every 7-10k miles

Opinions? My concern is the down springs would still leave too much wheel gap and it would look bad.

1. flip tires u can run extra 7-10k miles
2. proper alignment can help camber wear as well
3. camber kit

Here is my wife's car with RSR-Down Springs...for me it isn't low enough but for her it is perfect. Tires every 7-10k miles sounds very excessive....

Nice, looks good to me! Is it AWD? Mine is, from what I have read, the regular down springs will only get it to the stock RWD height.

With Super Downs, many are having issues getting the alignment back into spec. There is no camber kit available for the 4GS. That's why I was only looking at the regular down springs. Super Downs will probably create a camber issue that cannot be fixed, and will eat rear tires pretty fast.

Do you plan to run a staggered set up? That seems to be a big cause of the rear tire wear after lowering AWD, if you search through the forum. If you run 20 x 9" on all four corners I would be curious to see the results on wear.

My wife's car is RWD.

This car looks great!!

How does it ride compared to stock? I am hoping to keep the smooth ride but lower the stance a bit on my RWD..
