RS-R Superdowns thoughts?

I just installed the superdowns and I love the look with stock wheels! No need for any fender work.
As far as scraping goes.. well it seems the front lip area isn't getting hit, it's the undercarriage somewhere.. anyone with these springs know what part hits the road the most often? How bad is it?

There are small mudflaps in front of the front wheels (1 flap on each side) that drag frequently over speed bumps and on driveways. Mine drag on RSR Down springs. Nothing to worry about.

I'm on super downs and I do scrape my front lip quite a bit.

Currently running a replica aimgain and I dont mind thrashing it.

I really liked the way they looked and felt on my friends car I would recommend it.

Just be wary of your stock struts and shocks blowing out down the line.

Have you noticed your fender liner getting beat up? I just looked at mine and it seems to be taking damage

Nope. Yet to scrape my fender liners.

this is absolutely correct. superdowns with a wheel/tire setup that's not super aggressive will not (seriously) damage the liners.
