Default Rs-r

Hey guys, so I've never lowered a car but seen a lot of of posts with their IS's lowered. 3isVader has his lowered and looks sick!! My question is I went to their website and they have 2, which would y'all recommend and whats the difference. I even tried to see the difference in the 2013 FSport Spring Set but didn't get much.

Half down is the most mild drop for aftermarket springs out for the 3IS. Half downs will lower your car less than regular downs.

If you want a mild drop do the half downs.
If you want lower than that, do the downs.

I just got rsr downs, let's see how they sit with 20x9 +38 and 20x10.5 +45. Anybody have this exact setup? Rubbing issues? How's the wheel gap and ride quality?

I have that same setup and no rubbing issues. What tire size are you planning on running?

Are you tucking tire at all? How bad is the camber and how low is the front bumper? Are you scraping at all?

no tuck, just clean no gap. camber looks just fine, the shop did a full alignment afterwards. no scraping or rubbing, feels very legit, im not into tuck or slamming or replacing tires sooner than necessary lol
