Default RS*R lowering springs

Does anybody have any experience with RS*R lowering springs? I have searched high and low and haven't really found any real world reviews. I see a lot of F-sport blues, however I'm not a huge fan of the reverse rake appearance due to the rear fender arches being smaller. The RS*R's advertise a 1.2F and .8R drop, which is the stance I'm going for. I'd like to hear how the ride quality is though, I know these are a linear spring where-as the blues are progressive, not sure how much of a difference it would make. Thanks!

Default Hey I lowered my base model to same as fsport height.


The pieces I installed to improve stance handling drivability. Drastic improvement.

1yr since they were installed current stance

Hopefully set of fancy rims to come this summer 🤑
Its was manzo springs blue coating generic. But looks like f/sport. Llol specs were 1.2” fr / .80” rear. My rears were linear (same gap on springs), progressives for fronts ( gap varies on springs). It sits level when I measured ground clearance and wheel and fender gap. Drop 1” all around. If it looks reverse rake? Idk it optical illusion lol j/s. Measure were same tire to bottom arch on wheel fender I Kept OEM shocks since f/sport use as base. I also added a h-brace on front bottom firm the lower suspension. It drives and handles with the best version of other top sports car. Once ct gets started its Maneuverability and compact size is a such a breeze and fun to drive thru traffic.
