I guess everyone is either tired or lazy at the moment. However, tt would be nice to see more and more pics of drops(brand, drop rate/specs). The subject never gets old.

RS-R Down Springs (not TI2000)
Estimated Front Drop - 15mm(0.6in)
Estimated Rear Drop - 15mm(0.6in)
Front Spring Rate - 6.17kg(345lbs)
Rear Spring Rate - 7.46kg(417lbs)
I had no camber issues and was able to have a proper alignment performed
I ran them on stock shocks
Comfortable ride
Increased handling and turn-in
Drop was noticeable and people often asked me if it was lowered

I no longer have these on the car but I used to run B&G springs.





1. the brand of springs: B&G
2. your wheel & tire specs.: Stock 17" wheels and tires at the time
3. bodykit: Nope
4. camber issues or not.: Camber was -2.0 in the back and -1.8 up front. Installed Cusco A Arms and SPC camber arms and toe bolts later and was able to get everything back in spec.

1. the brand of springs -- Tanabe GF210s, 1"/1.2" F/R drop.
2. your wheel & tire specs. -- 20" Axis SevenMod, 245/35F -- 275/35R
3. bodykit -- Stillen urethane
4. camber issues or not. -- SPC Camber kit is a must for anything near a 1" drop.






SPC Rear Camber/Toe Kit side-by-side with stock.
