Just like the title said, rsr super downs seems a little too low for me and I'm updating my pics now after they've settled for some time now, these are RSR DOWNs and they drive great !

That looks great. I was thinking of going 20s, but if those are 19s they look great and think I may do that instead.

How much of a drop does that give over stock? Do they make the ride bouncy?

I think it was 1.3 around, it defers according to their site , my ride isn't bouncy at all and it definitely rides like stock, I was thinking 20s too but I got a deal on these so I went 19s instead.

Those springs look perfect on your car! It reduces the ugly fender gaps but yet it's not so low where its impracticable to drive.

Did you upgrade your shocks too? How is everyone else doing with stock-shocks with lowering springs? Any pre-mature wear?

Thanks! Everything surprisingly is stock and no premature wear yet, my car is a 2013 and I have 45k on it so we'll see in the next couple thousand miles, my camber was around 2 degrees in the rear though but I haven't seen much tire wear yet... guess I'll find out soon enough.

@RichardB23 That may be true - but keep in mind that the AWD GS has a higher wheel gap. If you have RWD, the stock gap isn't as pronounced.
