Racingbeat springs worth it?

Soon, I will be running 18X10 R and 18X9 F wheels. I know I'll need to have it lowered a bit to make the car look right with the wheels. I don't really want to spend a lot of money on coilovers right now. Just curious if the RB springs are a good investment. I want a smooth ride, but lowered at the same time. Will these springs give the stance i'm looking for with these rims?

I am currently running racing beats on my FD and encounter alot of rubbing and need to roll my fenders. Most people running these springs experience the same and several have switched to H+R's will better results. Search for the threads to see what others have to say, but your probably better with the H+R's.

Post the wheel offset and tire size, maybe someone more knowing will chime in

RS*R Race springs here. I experience no rubbing, I also run a 99 front lip, and the lip does not touch any speed bumps. These springs also give the car that "go kart" feeling. One drawback tho, it might be too stiff for some people (447lbs/fr 391lbs/bk)

I also run 18x8.5(fr) and 18x9.0(bk) rims on my car. I forgot the tire size tho
