Anyone running 18" wheels with RS-R super down springs?

Sorry can't really find anything concrete on the subject.

I'm about to go RS-R super down springs (so it's 1.0-1.2" drop) with my Work Kiwami 18x9.5 +38 (235x40 tires) and was wondering if anyone has the same or similar setup?

Is there any rubbing issues in the front?

I'm getting SPC front camber bolts and SPC rear arms as well, so will be able to do minor camber adjustments.




P.S. I nave 0 issues on OEM suspension.

I had 18x9.5 +40 offset squared on all sides... The front rubbed, but I used a 5mm spacer in the front so turning the wheels would clear. I also used 3mm in the rear(not needed, but looked better in the back since the looked flushed... hope that helped.

Ok, here's update on the subject: RS-R super low springs + SPC 14mm camber bolts (SPC on the bottom, bottom crush bolts on the top). The car is noticeably lower, but no rubbing so far.





Managed to get -2.0 camber on the front. Rear springs are still settling down, so rear camber is a bit messy - I don't worry to much about this as I will be installing LCA soon.
