Question about RS-R race springs

I was just wondering if anyone has RS-R race springs, and If you do, how much did they lower your car(front and back). Also did you experience any sevier rubbing from the front or rear tires.
Thanks floman

I don't have them but it looks like minimal drop. Check out the RS-R web site...

With that kind of spring rate and that small of drop your car has problems if you have rubbing .

I am currently running those springs, and I have the stock tire size and stock rim. I have abosolutely no rubbing at all. The springs are perfect in my opionion other than going down the coilover route. I am not sure how much lower it made my car, but put it this way : its not too high and not too low. Just perfect

here are some pics with the springs installed

I believe i read that someone had used them with stock R1 shocks and they were great. Touring, i wouldn't do it.

I will be running those springs with apexi t-max shocks. good for applications if you are road racing or autoXing. If you do neither I wouldn't recommend those for the street as it will probably be a harsh ride
