Im still torn. lol
I called megan
because they don't show the spring rate and they told me their springs are progressive and compare to factory is about 40% difference (doubt it) ..my tanabe springs will be install tomorrow... I went with tanabe because I had rsr before and didn't like the drop and for some reason I had a noise when I move the steering wheel to the sides...

I have the RSRs. I have a couple photos of my car with 20s on the thread. It's a subtle drop and as Corrado was talking about it's not rough at all. Over the speed bumps you do get the school bus bump but other than that it's a minor difference. Got an alignment after and there were few adjustments if any.

Hit up Lou from @ModinJapan (forum sponsor) if you want the springs. He will definitely take care of you.

A little problem I have now. Turns out my tires are rubbing somewhere when I do a full turn. I thought it was just the tires making the sound because they were new, but its raining hard tonight and as I backed up, I can hear the squeaking from inside. Any easy fixes? Would wheel spacers help? If I do get spacers then would it be a problem now if I get the RSRs? Thanks guys

Welcome! You turn this reverse mirror function with the L/R adjustment selector. If you want to turn it off, leave it in the middle.

That's pretty aggressive, the fronts look flush, but the rears look like they stick out slightly past your wheel arches.with the 20x10 & 20mm spacers.
