New rims installed but what springs??
Hi All,

I recently had my Bronze 18 x 10.5 RFP1's installed with 265/35/18 Michelin Pilot Super Sports. So far, I've only seen one Evo X RR with the same bronze RFP1s on this forum. Anyways, my question to you all is what springs do you recommend? Here are some pics to show the huge gaps!! I've seen people purchase Eibachs, GTWorx, and Swift. For those of you that are on springs, what do y'all recommend? I'm worried if I get too low of a spring, I will rub like crazy. Mostly drive my car to work and back but eventually I want to Auto X.

I have GTWorx and I love them for the ride quality and handling upgrade. I don't like a big drop, but all the performance springs drop you somewhat. I gave up on a taller ride to have the better handling.

Eibach Pro-Kit. Good drop without going to low and Ive had them for over 2 years with zero problems.

Just bought some coilovers. I have Eibachs now. What part of SA are you in? I'm willing to get rid of them once I put the coilovers on.

The Eibach kit is one of the lowest kits you can get... and MANY people have had problems with them rubbing..
