For those with RSR Downs,

How much of the rear drop when there are people or luggage in the back? I noticed that the rear drops considerably when there is weight with stock suspension.

Default RSR Downs w 20mm spacers, stock f sport rim

Just got my RSR Downs installed with 20mm spacers. As expected the front still leaves a bit of a gap compared to the rear.

The ride so far is pretty good and cant tell any difference between stock. With the spacers, the rear sticks out farther than i thought it would but havent experienced any rubbing yet.

I'm exactly the same except 265-30 in back. I think 255 is too much stretch for my taste

Also 235-35 is 25.45 tall and 255-30 is 25.0 tall. That's quite a difference, don't know if that's enough to throw off your awd

So im running 18x8.5 +30 all around, with stock tire, so 225 front and 255 rear on my is350 awd I just want to clarify if i can run rsr down springs or will it rub in the back with full load? or better off running half downs or even tein h techs

Thanks

Tein H-techs and rsr half downs are for RWD only. The AWD springs from rsr or coilovers are your only choice right now.

Nice I like 'em. I'm getting them for my AWD, so I can't imagine how low it would sit being a 4x4
