Lowering and spacers. Stock F-Sport
Hello guys.
My IS is stock on F-Sport wheel. I'm planning on keeping them for a while. Once my tires wear out I would like to put wider and thicker tires. I also would like to lower the car and put spacers. I am trying to avoid rubbing and shaking at any speed. I've read most the threads in here but I'm still confused. Can you guys help me out? Thank you in advance.
My questions are; what do I need to buy to lower it? I want springs only. I looked into the F-Sport springs but I got mixed feed backs about them. Is there a noticeable difference after they settle? How do they compare next to the RSR half downs?
Would I be safe with RSR downs? Even if I put bigger tires on my stock rims later on?
What if I went RSR super downs?
Spacers? What brand is a good brand and where do I buy it for a good price? Is 20mm rear and 15mm front a good idea? Do I need a camber kit or whatever you call it? Where do I get it? I don't want to mess with the fenders. I do have passengers with me often. My car is RwD.
Again thank you very much for your cooperation and your positive comments.

Lot of my customers love Swift Springs for performance, RSR superdown for looks and RSR downs for a decent drop.
Spacers are either Project Kics or H&R.
You don't need a camber kit, but I do suggest getting the RR-Racing USRS to prevent your car from toe in braking.

Ok I am going with RS-R downs springs.
I'm not sure about spacers yet.
I'm debating between Ichibas V2 or H&R. It seems like H&R would be more complicated to install? Where do I buy those and what model do I get?
I was looking into Ichibas 17mm rear and 20 or 22 front. Do you guys think that I would get rubbing if I add wider and thicker tires? Oh yeah, where can I get the best price for either. Rand of spacers? Thank you all for your help.
