RSR Race Springs for the FC

I know you normally work with FD parts but I figured I would ask. It seems that there are no RSR Race springs in the country right now for whatever reason. Can you get your hands on any? Maybe set up a group buy? I know there are a few others would like a set of these.

I can get parts for pretty much *any* JDM car (and even some non-JDM cars too). So yea, feel free to ask

I don't see why not...I think I actually quoted someone for these springs not too long ago (a week or two?)

Maybe set up a group buy? I know there are a few others would like a set of these.
Hey I'm game if you guys are. Spread the word, and get a list going. If there's enough ppl, I'll see what I can do

Thanks!

I believe that most websites listed them for $215 for a set last time I saw them. I would though, like confirmation on the spring rates. Since RSR doesnt have them listed on their website right now I cant remember the rates.

I believe the rates are around 335lb/in front and 260lb/in rear. Not sure about the drop, people have posted pics though.

We only have 3 or so ppl interested in this...I'm waiting to see if the thread will generate more interest. Otherwise, it'll be at whatever standard price I can get 'em for (vs. a GB discount).

Thanks,
~Ramy

Well if you could get a single purchase and a group buy rate I would appreciate it. I know that I want these springs regardless. Thanks!

I would be interested. The rates are very hard. As hard as coilovers for the most part. You'd better have some good shocks to put these on because they would probably wear out an oem set pretty quick. Lets get this going.

K here's some info for you guys...

RS★R Down Suspension:
Down quantity (front/rear) - F: 35~30 R: 20~15
Spring rate (front/rear) - F: 3.6 R: 2.2
Manufacturer guarantee - 3 years or 50,000 km
Price: $185 + Shipping

RS★R Ti2000 Down Suspension::
- Ti = Titanium
- 2000 = The tensile strength is 2000 N/mm2
Down quantity (front/rear) - F: 35~30 R: 20~15
Spring rate (front/rear) - F: 3.6 R: 2.2
Manufacturer guarantee - 3 years or 50,000 km
Price: $325 + Shipping

Spring Compressor (Optional): $35

Note:
1) Price is initial/tentative; I haven't finalized it, but that's what I'm working off of ATM
2) This is GB pricing
3) Shipping will consist of a flat rate for both international shipping (the total divided and evenly disbursed b/w the GB participants) and a domestic shipping fee.

Thanks!

What about the race versions of their springs? They should have higher rates than the down springs/

I was unaware that RSR made the Ti2000 spring for our cars. And both of those spring rates are soft as hell. In fact I can't find any info on RSR's site about making anything for the FC anymore.
