Default Lowering spring recommendation?

Hey everyone. I'm looking to get a set of springs for my 300. I don't want the "slammed" look by any means, just something to fill gap. I'm coming from previously having german cars, so this is new to me. I haven't owned a Japanese car since the Integra Type R days.

RSR Downs or Swifts Sports. Lowers about an inch and keeps the ride comfort about the same.

Thanks for that. Do the F Sport springs fit the 300 AWD?

No, the Fsport springs are RWD only. Same thing for the Swifts, so the RSRs are about the only ones available.

I have the RSRs and could not be happier!



This is with 245/40-18 all around, so slightly bigger tires than stock.

We have the Swift on our IS.

Does lowering springs (f sport / rsr) make any difference in the drive, as in feeling?

If half downs have a slight higher spring rate, I'd be interested

if you don't want the slam look get the rsr downs the super down will be too much of a drop
