I came on here hoping to find some info on the RS-R springs (fitment, ride, how it looks) and here it is. The drop looks nice. Definitely gonna have to pick it up for myself.
BTW are you using stock shocks?

yes sirrr - stock shocks...when I decided on springs vs coilovers I liked the fact with springs I still get the adjustability of the shock through the sport+ function.... J5 coilovers are out of the question for me at this time........but now after the install I am not confident they will hold up for the long run...I just got the springs installed and I am already putting in a plan for a set of coilovers in the next year or 2....

What do do you mean you are not confident they will hold up? In terms of shocks? I wanted to get springs because I don’t want to lose the adaptive suspension feature on the GS. I had could in my last car and loved them but I don’t want to go full out modding in my GS.

Wow. Brought from the dead. I mean It’s more wear and tear on ur shocks cause of the lowering springs. I have Since moved onto full coil overs and now on bags. IMO I would Just go full coil overs vs springs only - it’s been a while but idk if any difference at all on springs and switching thru the sport modes. At least with coil overs adjusting the shocks isn’t too bad.

yes you can, with an added lip i have 4" of ground clearance. Ive have the super downs installed for about 18K miles now and will be going to coilovers this spring to replaced them.

I'm happy with the height of the superdowns, it was about a 3" drop. But a little lower in summer could be better and higher is a must for winter.

Additionally, If I can go lower in the summer all the better.

i lowered the car with about 72k on the original suspension and shortly after killed at least 1 strut, maybe 2. I'll be getting BCs with swift springs this or next week, waiting on pricing from a vendor right now.
