Question RSR down springs for FD w/ tokico illuminas

I've searched, but not much said or reviews of the RSR down springs.

Also thought I post here to get more visibility than the suspension section. Mods- Please move if necessary

Well just like the subject said, anyone have any reviews of RSR down springs for FD?

I was planning on getting these and using them with the tokicos I've already have.

This is for everyday street use, I would like to get a spring that is stiffer than stock, but not bone jarring to rattle my teeth. Also from the description on RX7store, it only lowers .8 inch front and .6 inch rear, which looks to be more ideal for me.

I don't know much about them, but if i were to pick a stock replacent spring to go w/ Tokicos, i'd likely just get Racing Beats. They lower .75 f and 1.25 rear or so, and are just 15% stiffer or so... perfect. I had a set that i ran w/ both R1 shocks and the Tok's and loved them... and they're inexpensive.

I think its better to lower the rear a little more than the front, both for clearance, and to get rid of the "jacked" look the car has w/ the stock and many other lowering springs. With Koni/Eibach, I had to run it with the perches lower in the rear to get it to look right.

if you are looking for mostly street use with only a slight drop, i'd look for PFS comfort springs. drop only 3/4" and great ride. check the suspension archives and threads as there are some good writeups there. most springs that i've seen drop the 7 quite a bit. i got mine a month ago on ebay and i like

These are another good choice for the street, but you can't buy them new anymore, Farrell just sells H&R now.

I've tried the PFS comfort springs before, I thought there were to soft. Even on the highest setting of the tokico. That's why I went back to stock.
