    Well I am curious enough, and these are cheap enough to try. Will be resident guinea pig!

    Just ordered a RS-R set, cheapest I could find on the inter-balls, came in at $182 total with free ground shipping from:
    https://rcagarage.com/shop/suspensio...springs-b200d/

    Was their last in-stock set. Prices all over from $200-300 elsewhere.

    Keep yall posted

    I was thinking about going with those springs. Are you saying you had a rubbing issue with NON- OE shocks?
    I was going to keep my stock shocks and struts. Also considering Eibach units.
    How much would you want?

    yeah..at first i tried it with an oem shocks for the rear and still rubs then changed it to a kyb..maybe it was because i have a 15 inch wheel with +38 offset and a 195/50/15 tires..even a 190/50/15 tire rubs..i even did a fender roll...i havent tried it on a 14 inch wheel...i can give it to you for $150 + shipping...i'll include the oem front shocks since the the front springs are still mounted on it when i removed it...

    Was that a 7" wide wheel? That will make a difference.
