RS*R Down Springs
Here's my car in her current state, on RS*R Down Lowering Springs 
The original setup was on a different set of RS*R lowering springs which dropped the car much lower and completely got rid of the wheel gap. It looked fabulous, but unfortunately my wheel/tire setup in the rear is too aggressive and I would not have been able to drive home like that
Even with rolling the fenders/rear bumper I would probably still have rubbing issues. So, we went with the Down Lowering springs instead, which to my understanding drops the car 28mm up front and 14mm in the rear.
My wheel setup is in the rear is 19x9.5 with an offset of +32 and 265/30 tires. As you can see in the pictures, the wheel sticks out a bit, and with that fender curving inward, a lower drop would chew up my sidewalls
As the car sits now, I am quite happy though
The ride is great, and even on dips and over speed bumps, there is no rubbing in the rear.

Thanks to your pics, it's what I'm thinking of doing. You mentioned the ride is good - is it the same as stock or a little firmer still? Where does one get RSR springs and what was the cost? Thanks!
Thank you, thank you
Hahaha thank you for showing the 4x4 to compare it to hehe
I'll make a thread specifically about the springs in just a moment, showing the difference between and drop on the Super Down springs and the Down springs on my car. The ride feels great to me-- slightly stiffer than stock, but not a drastic change. It's still a very comfortable ride
And no rubbing!!
Really? Interesting! You had to roll the fenders though right?
Thank you, thank you
