RSR Superdown owners

Would you say handling improved or stayed the same in turns of cornering and such?
Also, would it be dangerous to stay on stock struts?

I am currently running Swift Spec-R springs on stock struts with around a 3/4"-1" drop (Haven't measured since they seated) and I haven't had any issues with around 6k miles and a few track days.

Im wondering if Super downs would be okay since they're about 1.2 drop, idk if the car could handle that on stock.

Flush to the fenders you can do 20mm front ans 25mm rear. We sell spacers if interested.
