installed mine yesterday, pics soon! The drop finally looks right, slight forward rake instead of looking like you have a load in the back like the Tanabes.

Just put them on yesterday so I am sure they will settle more, but the drop in person is very nice with a slight forward rake.

hope to clean it up this weekend and take some better shots.

Also, as a note... I did have to roll the rear fenders and did a mild pull on the front to clear +43 and 205's

Stalonehong, my wheels are Gram Light 57 Optimise 17 x 7.5 with +43 offset with absolutely no tire/fender rubbing. Did not roll or pull any fenders.

I did install camber bolts and set the camber at -0.7 degrees. Car is lowered with Tanabe DF210s; great & comfortable ride.

i dont think the rsr's are that low. according to the rhdjapan website, the drop is 30-35mm in the front and 35-40 in the rear....

HMM... your right. Maybe its the angle of the pics or the rims but the sportlines just don't look as low as they say they are.

Much stiffer, which I like(that's what she said ) So hopefully that will help alleviate the rubbing issues some too. The Tanabes are too soft IMO. Next up is F and R Cusco swaybars.

It is the angle, and i just put the on yesterday. So they will settle some more and it looks much lower in person. They are def lower than the DF's all around, cant compare them to the RSR's though.
