RS-R Springs

I found these online. i was told they are great for the fc but do any of you guys have experience with them? I think i want to try something else. i dont like my springs. I think they are tonabe gf. They bounce quite a bit. i have kyb agx also.

^ Ya? thats cool. What do you use the car for? Daily, track? KYB AGX are adjustable shocks. they only adjust tension though. Not ride hidth. How does your car sit with these springs on? Any kind of rake?

If you want to adjust ride height you've got to get coilovers.

RS-R Race springs IIRC are about three times stiff than stock. You will need some GOOD adjustable shocks to go with them.

Personally I'd just save up and get used coilovers.

^^ yep thats how they sit. i had the RS-R springs on tokico adjustable struts and the rear blew and the front may be on its way. which is why i wanna get koni's as they are stronger for these springs. right now i have kyb agx struts and tanabe springs and they're not as stiff as the RS-R but it works for now. and RS-R has been used for daily use and i loved how comfortable it was even on harsh roads

post #5. nice nice. They make the car look real nice. It even looks like it has a little forward rake. i like that.

Anyone ever go to a track with these? Either for grip drive or slide?
