The most popular springs we sell are the RSR springs and the Swift springs for the RC. We have Swift springs on our RC personally.

We are also on a 20x9 and 20x10 wheel setup and our car does not rub.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

You dont NEED to use a camber kit but you can do eliminate some of the negative camber.

My GS is slammed on coils and I have about -3.75 camber in the rear Not too much to make a difference on tire wear if you flip them regularly The one thing you have to do is get an alignment after lowering the car. My buddy put RSR Superdown springs on his 3IS and his front tires wore out quickly because he didnt align the car.

As mentioned above, you wont NEED camber kits, but an alignment is a must. Getting the toe is spec is more important than camber, as far as tire wear goes.
