Arrow RSR down, super down + SPC rear camber

Hello every one!

I will get my Vossen VFS2 20x9 - 20x10.5
Tiers front: 245/35/20 rear 275/30/20


So, I need to lower my car (GS 350 RWD) , should I go with super down or just down? do you think that the camber problem has been solved by SPC camber?

pleas help me!

thank you all!

You will rub with the rsr super downs and will need to clearance the inside of the quarter. I am running the same offsets and hat to roll the inside of the quarter and I still will scrub over large bumps. I have the spc camber kit on the back and with a 275 tire when you adjust the camber they will rub no matter what. I had to drop down in tire size

I think F 245/30/20 R 275/30/20 will do the work with no rub.
I just got my RSR super down and Vossen VFS2 20" OFFSET F 45 R 32 and a lot of people have told me to go with those tires numbers!

The SPC rear camber kit will help correcting rear camber wear. I burned through tires in ~ 15k miles when I was on my RSR Super downs with no camber kit. The shocks started to show wear around 30k miles. My car currently has 40k miles and I switched over to a BC Coilover / Swift Spring setup about 2k miles ago and have noticed an increased ride quality when compared to the springs and OE shock combo. Hope this info helps

when changing springs you definitely need an alignment. Just wait a few days atleast so they can "settle". Youll need a rear camber kit if you want your rear tires to last more than 6 months LOL.

I got the same offsets except in the front a +35, but the back will rub unless you roll your quarters.
