not sure if this is correct. regardless of what the spring height is, the angle of travel for the suspension should be the same...

I've heard from a friend with Perrin spacers on his Subaru STi and he said that you have to check the torque of the spacers every 2000kms. Is it true? Isn't it hard or irritating to keep torque testing the spacers every 2000kms? What are the best spacers and spacer size for me (I have IS350 F sport stock wheels and spring)?

how much of gap do you have on the rear of RWD is350 with RSR downs and f sports wheels with 20mm spacers?
I plan on getting rear camber kit to correct the neg. camber. I'm worried that it might rub against the fender after the correction.

I have an AWD with Down springs and camber kit, rears on AWD is same as RWD, and I'm pretty sure 20mm spacers would rub. 15mm would even be real close.

Changing the springs on our style of suspension only changes the nominal height, not the path of suspension travel. Meaning, if suspension components other than the spring remain the same between two of the same cars, the camber gain/loss per suspension travel will be the same.

Freshly lowered on RS-R Super Down's and I would highly recommend anyone to go with 25MM up front & 20MM rear on stock F-Sport Wheels, no rubbing AT ALL! Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics will get around to better ones with my Fuji X100T.

Completely stock '15 RWD IS 350 F Sport on a lease. I don't want to do any fender rolling. Will 20mm Eibach type-2 hubcentric spacers with 60mm bore work without issues?
