RSR Springs

Zed-Hed · 04-03-2015, 05:38 PM

Is anyone running these springs. I see they have similar rates to Nismo springs and a moderate .5 in. drop. Can these be run without camber arms.

Go with Swift. Don't buy RSR

I have never heard of RSR springs. Any of them can be ran without camber arms. I would recommend the rear camber bolts at least.

Nevah Hoid of it. It's probably a rebranded/Chinese knock off something. Stick with Swift. The extra 20 bucks or so you will pay will be completely worth it in one year when your springs aren't cracked and lopsided

These responses are why I don't like this forum.

Chuy,
I have learned to ignore those comments. That is why you see I have so few posts,even though I have been a member since 2009.

I'm with you also but calling RSR some Chinese knock off. I just felt I had to say something. RSR has been in multiple events

I'm not looking to save twenty dollars. I want a small drop with a stiffer spring. Don't want the expense of camber arms. I will just
go with Nismo if this is not an option.

Having had both I prefer the Nismo springs to the Swift Spec-R for performance but the lowering is not very noticeable compared to the Swifts. Also I didn't care for the progressive spring rate of the Swift.

Go with Swift! No one here will tell you otherwise. it's pretty tough to drop the rear of this car and not need any camber arms. Some people seem to be able to do it and stay in spec, but it seems borderline at best.

I'm running them, was looking for a stiffer spring rate with just a slight drop so they fit the bill. However, I did opt for SPL rear camber arms since I was at around -2.5 without. Paired them with Koni Yellows & happy with the result

That being said, progressive springs would've been less harsh on the crappy roads around me. I've heard all good things about Swifts as well. Both are reputable Japanese manufacturers.

Pl4,
Did the front not require additional camber adjustment.

My fronts were -1.6 both sides with the toe almost zeroed out, so I was ok with that.

PL4,
What are you running for a sway bar.

RSR is not Chinese knock off at all. But, below is why swift is certainly worth it
