15mm H&R front spacers with extended lugs and 20mm H&R rear spacers. Josh will answer all your questions. RC aligned up fine after lowering and no wheel vibration what so ever. Thanks

My problem now is apparently the only springs that are known to work for AWD is RSR and they font drop as much as the Swifts. Very frustrating!

Looks good! Do you think 20mm front and 25mm rear spacers would fit without rubbing on a lowered RC 350 F sport? I like the stock wheels to be flush, but not poking out

I'm literally going to install RSR super downs and 20/25 combo tomorrow. I'll post some pics for you.

Here's pics of 20mm in the front and 25mm in the rear. Its hard to capture on camera but it made a HUGE difference. Much more aggressive.

this looks really good! the rear looks like it pokes out just a smidge? or is it just camera angle? either way, looks great!

what part of NC are you in? I am in Winston Salem myself.

All 4 are pretty much flush with the fender. I love the look....I'm in Raleigh. Start a RC350 NC club and I'll be there. haha

Waiting for the super downs! Looks like you might have to run some negative camber in the rear.

Well to be fair, I didn't get an alignment yet. I've heard you can fix some of the camber with an alignment.
