Just installed RS*r's

The spring is not a whole lot stiffer over stock, maybe 20% better but the car stits even all the way around.The rear does have that jacked up look to it anymore.
I was going around an off ramp from the highway with the stock springs and the front will rub, but now there is no rubbing.and a whole lot less body roll.
I will recomend these springs if anyone is looking.They are the stiffest of the 2 line's.

Ive had the RS*R race springs for about 2 months. I posted a thread the day I installed them in the 3rd gen section. The springs give the car that "go kart" feeling. Still havent autoxed the car yet, but soon. I rub my 99 lip sometines, but the car is definately lower than most other FD's with aftermarket springs. When turning the car, it tells you to push harder. The body roll is significantly reduced. I suggest these springs to almost anyone who wants to eliminate body roll and stiffen up the suspension without going down the coilover road.

Also, RS*R is kind of like the Eibach of Japan. They are the number one selling spring company in Japan for a couple years. Their products are tested, and are some of the best out there.

it sounds like the drop is significantly more than the .4" they claim. anybody have specs on the actual drop? coilovers are sounding better everyday.
