Thoughts on the new RS-R Sports-i CR coilovers

Thanks! I've been looking for a good Monotube coilover that isn't over $3k, and this seems like the one. Not too worried about the alternate top hat/camber plate compatibility, but I definitely want to run stiffer spring rates than what is offered out of the box. Still been digging them so far?

RSR does have different rate springs which can be purchased from them as well.
Upper and lower brackets and mounts too, can be made to fit things made by RSR as well.

However, all of that, basically modifications from what is sold, is at your own risk, as RSR will not warranty, advise, or help with any R&D using a 3rd party parts on the system for obvious reasons.

Ah, perfect! I'll be aiming at getting the "CR" version of the Sports-i coilovers, I just wanted to make sure that I could run slightly stiffer rates. Since my car is my DD as well, I don't see myself running more than -3.5 degrees of camber, but I definitely wanted to run in the 550-600lbs range, as far as spring rates go.

Yep, they are still working great. I'm still tinkering with the settings to get them just right.

And if they will work with the normal top hat/camber plate offerings from Vorshlag, Raceseng, etc.? I've reached out to them via email, but haven't gotten any response.

If you decide to get aftermarket components instead of RS*R components, we can get you the Swift springs if you specify ID, length, and rate.

We can also have RaceSeng make a compatible spring perch and bushing if you want to use their equipment. I can get the appropriate measurements from RS*R or @whataboutbob

P.S. we can also get you the RS*R components as well.

@Moto-P What led you guys to go with square rates on the Club Racers, versus the staggered rates on the "Moto-Spec"?

Can RS*R coilovers be rebuilt in the US or do they have to be shipped back to Japan?

***Nevermind this question. I heard back from RS*R and they do ship back to Japan for rebuilds.***
