Has any one had any first hand expeirience with these springs on a FC? If so would you recomend them for a daily driven FC? What shocks did you use? Any rubbing? ETC ETC.... Please any help would be nice, not alot of info on these springs anywhere for some reason.

I have some RSR springs in stock for the FC we are blowing out. They are the Downsprings. You won't have problems at all with these. I'm uncertain about the Teins.

You will find that double wishbone suspensions tend to run higher spring rates both OE and aftermarket.
