Looks great!

I've got a contrasting color scheme to yours. Silver Ignition w/Bronze RPF1s in same fitment with RSR Super Downs. Looks great too!

If I went whiteout, I'd be running the same look you got or maybe SBC. Nice!

Wow very very nice.

I'm stuck between the Tein Stech, RSR superdown, and maybe eibachs.

On paper s tech is lower then the superdowns but in pictures they almost seem the same.

stechs are the lowest springa between all three though correct?

There is conflicting info on this.. As the thread above says super downs lower 1" F 1.2" R... However RS*R advertised 1-1.2" F and 1.2-1.4"... If stechs and rs*r looks the same... It is likely they are about the same lol. Prokit is probably less low than tein or rsr...

I like the spring rates AND the lowering amount of the RS*R... I thought about get prokits also... But I ran prokit on my GC8 impreza back in the day and didn't like it. . . diff vehicles yield diff results tho so I don't know. .

You mentioned your 5mm ones are not hubcentric; is there a brand/size/type that IS? Is there a recommended size/limit for still using stock wheels/lugs? I was looking at something in the 5-10mm range, nothing huge.

I think its because my rims need hubcentric rings and it wasn't perfectly flush. Its really fine I feel as though nothing has changed

No odd noises when going over bumps? Does it feel like the car rolls(springy) around when switching lanes at high speeds on the highway?

stiffness is good enough for the occasional track day?

I have no issues with mine making odd noises. My shocks are relatively new, so I have no roll when making tight fast turns either.

I would guess that unless you're some kind of special bad ass driver, that the super downs will be fine on the occasional track day. Just don't go off track - you definitely have less stroke. LOL.
