Thanks! And that's a great surprise no more RC 350 4x4 Truck lol. You'll love the ride on the RSRs. Been months now and I have zero complaints

Are you sure the Swift Springs are lower than the RSR ?

The Swift springs specs are 1.5" front and 0.9" rear. While the RSR is 1.4"-1.6" front and 1.2"-1.4" in the rear.

Also does anyone know, is it true the higher the kg/mm rate the stiffer the ride ? Or is it the other way around ?

I can't say for certain. I thought I read somewhere previously that the Swifts were a tad more aggressive than the RSRs

Since you are happy with the RSR maybe what you need are the Superdown RSR springs which are 1.8"-2.0" all around.

I don't think they've done super down for the RC have they?

I'll likely go coil overs eventually

Pirelli, how have the RSRs worked out for you? I'm in the same boat...need to lower my RC in Los Angeles but don't want to deal with it being too low and scraping. Any issues with it so far now that they've settled down?

I have had my RSR's for about 5 months now and they sit perfect. Not too low for daily driving on the street but low enough to make a difference with how it looks and how it feels driving.
