Hey,

Super down might cause you to rub.. I would say get some regular downs.

Contact us for pricing! We have them in stock!

I don't know your exact specs so I can't really tell but its a possibility.

You can get coilovers for maximum adjustability to get exactly where you want to be.

Feel free to text me at 213 394 2886.

I bought springs from Josh and ended up going back to him for coilovers a few months later. I would do the coils if the price diffeence is not an issue IMHO.

Which springs did you get and what are your wheel specs?

I went with the RSR downs. I was running Niche Methos wheels, 20x9 et 35 up front and 20x10.5 et 40 in the rear. Had Nitto Invo tires with 255/30/20 up front and 285/30/20 in the rear. I had no rubbing with that set up but wanted to go lower with the option of adjustability.

That’s exactly what i’m running now that’s what I want to avoid with the regular downs and get the superdowns. Do you know how low you are with your coils?

There is a guy in our car group that is running the super downs and he does not have room to get off of a stock wheel/tire setup.

I did just have to raise my front coils 1/4" because I had to get 255/35/20 up front and jacked my fender liners up. Zero rubbing since then.

Do you have a picture on the regular RSR downs before you went to coils?

I am lowered on RSR downs with 20s, and I rub all the time. It happens when I brake as well. This weekend I'm going to put the stocks back on and see if anything changes.
