Default RC200t lowering springs + spacers

Hey guys, got my RC200t last year and have been slowly thinking of things to add to the car. I was looking into lowering springs, specifically ones from RS-R and wanted to know if anyone has done this and know how much the springs dropped their car from the front and rear. There are two versions to the ones I was looking at one has these specs:
  • Front: -40mm to -45mm (-1.6in to -1.8in)
  • Rear: -25mm to -30mm (-1.0in to -1.2in)
the other has these:
  • Front: -25mm to -30mm (-1.0in to -1.2in)
  • Rear: -15mm to -20mm (-0.6in to -0.8in)
I looked up some RC200s that had the first option and even with tire and wheel specs similar to mine they worked but just in case I wanted to see if anyone had done it before. In addition if anyone had any knowledge about what length spacers they used to get the wheels more in line with the body that would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Get the RSR down not the super down. With some H&R 15/20mm spacers.

hey Josh thanks for the reply, is there a reason why the down are better than the super down? For the 200 would it rub or be worse if I get the super down? I do like the lowered look but one of the thing I was worried about was the back getting too lowered because of the super down length.

The super down is very low, will blow your shocks quicker too.

Gocha, I'll get the downs then. Additionally for the spacers did you mean 15 in the front and 20 in the rear or either of those sizes for both?
