RS*R Lowering Springs Soon to be out!

I don't know if it is already mentioned or if it is, MODS please delete.

So as title says RS*R is soon to be releasing there lowering springs. Just want to share with you guys. I was contacting them inquiring info about a set of coilovers (Yes, I missed the groupbuy because I'm not yet ready financially that time and truely not yet because I wanted to fully utilize the coilovers if I ever get one. Car is a DD for now but have future plans of tracking) Back to topic.. There will be two variants: the down springs and super down springs. Specs are Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1358308985.841236.jpg

They will be putting out more info by the end of the month. I asked them if there will be a group buy too and if it will be like the set of coilovers (specifically tuned for the twins or something like that question) and the estimated price.(no response yet) There you go.. More choices for us ft86 owners!

With the rates that low up front....I'm not sure it'll oversteer much. It's gonna be very bumpstop active.

Those rates are super super low.

For performance, yes...although you can't go too stiff either on the stock shocks.

I was more referring to the normal Down Spring that only lowers the car about a .5" between the rates and the super conservative drop, I wonder who that target customer is. The Super Down are just WAY too low for a stock damper. But I get that, for the guy that just wants to be "slammed".

Either way, they'll sell like crazy because there's two R's and a star in the name.
