RSR Springs
 

Is anyone running these springs. I see they have similar rates to Nismo springs and a moderate .5 in. drop. Can these be run without camber arms.

Go with Swift. Don't buy RSR

I have never heard of RSR springs. Any of them can be ran without camber arms. I would recommend the rear camber bolts at least.

Nevah Hoid of it. It's probably a rebranded/Chinese knock off something. Stick with Swift. The extra 20 bucks or so you will pay will be completely worth it in one year when your springs aren't cracked and lopsided.

I'm not looking to save twenty dollars. I want a small drop with a stiffer spring. Don't want the expense of camber arms. I will just
go with Nismo if this is not an option.

Go with Swift! No one here will tell you otherwise. it's pretty tough to drop the rear of this car and not need any camber arms. Some people seem to be able to do it and stay in spec, but it seems borderline at best.

I'm running them, was looking for a stiffer spring rate with just a slight drop so they fit the bill. However, I did opt for SPL rear camber arms since I was at around -2.5 without. Paired them with Koni Yellows & happy with the result :tup:

That being said, progressive springs would've been less harsh on the crappy roads around me. I've heard all good things about Swifts as well. Both are reputable Japanese manufacturers.

Pl4,
Did the front not require additional camber adjustment.

Having had both I prefer the Nismo springs to the Swift Spec-R for performance but the lowering is not very noticeable compared to the Swifts. Also I didn't care for the progressive spring rate of the Swift.

RSR is not Chinese knock off at all. But, below is why swift is certainly worth it

Swift Springs dynoed - North American Motoring

RSR is a very reputable company in Japan. However, Swift owns the spring game.

My fronts were -1.6 both sides with the toe almost zeroed out, so I was ok with that.

PL4,
What are you running for a sway bar.

Stock right now.

PL4,
How is the ride vs stock.

I had RS-R's on my Maxima, they sucked áss.

I drove their FRS with coils for 3 days, ride sucked áss, from full stuff to full hard. A crap set of coils.

I will say their xB on coils was ok though...


Just keep in mind that RS-R sells "Ran-Up" that snake oil bullshít that gives you more power...because you use a quart of 0W-20 instead of your regular oil with 'friction whateverthehells that were used on the space station' (AKA Teflon and Molybdenum...)
And a bottle of LiquiMoly is $8 on Amazon vs Ran up for $50 (I use LiquiMoly in every car now, quiets valve chatter)

A bit stiffer, but nothing too jarring for my daily driver. Feels more planted & predictable. Paired with Koni's a couple sweeps off from full soft. Overall I'm happy.

PL4,
How is the ground clearance.

These responses are why I don't like this forum.

Chuy,
I have learned to ignore those comments. That is why you see I have so few posts,even though I have been a member since 2009.

I'm with you also but calling RSR some Chinese knock off. I just felt I had to say something. RSR has been in multiple events

Manageable, the only thing I occasionally scrape is the plastic front aero deflector which sits about 3-1/4in off the ground and flaps ahead of the front wheels at about 2-1/4in off the ground. The next lowest point is probably my exhaust flex pipe. Running 265/35/19s in the front.

PL4,
Thanks for taking the time to answer all the questions.
