Default RSR down i.c.w. 20'

I have a question regarding the experience with the drop of the RSR down springs.

What is the experience in parking garages? With parking stones, speedbumps etc. I need to know this mainly because I have to park in a parking garage daily. I don't have an option to park the car anywhere else.

You'll have to change your driving habits. You will clear most steep parking entrances without a problem, you'll just have to go in and out slower.

With speed bumps, you will not have much problems. In most cases, you will have to come to a complete stop in order to get over the bump.

Parking stones can be different in height, you might clear some and not others. The best way is to back in when you park, this way you won't damage your bumper, since the rear is higher from the ground.

Hube..

These pics should help. Note it has a Lexon Front Lip Spoiler and with the RSR-Down Springs we still clear.

We have never scraped the bumper except for one time on some ridiculous incline to park. Otherwise its worry free!

Sexy pic, the two of them together

same here. dropped my first whip a while back and it was horrendous slowing down everywhere i went. The worst feeling is when the car bottoms out, you just sit there wincing, gritting your teeth as if your nuts just got kicked in :/

trying not to but theres a lot more fender gap than my 09 IS250 and its starting to bother me...
