Default RS*R RACE Springs?

Anyone have these? I know they are kind of outdated, but I could get a brand new set of them for $115 shipped. Seems like a good deal to me, but are these good springs? Or should I just get a used set of name brand springs like Neuspeed and H&R, etc for the same price?

RS*R is a brand name and that is a decent price for new springs shipped. I assume this is for a 94-01 since I dont think they made race springs for G2 correct? The specs of your spring are below. More important than the spring is the Shocks. You are planning on replacing your shocks right? These are not for stock shocks because the spring rate is too high and you will blow them.

I'll be using these on Tokico blues... I think the specs are a little off right there^ Its a 2.0 drop in the front and a 1.6 in the rear. The spring rates seem right though...

Tokico Blue are just stock replacement, it won't last long on lowering spring.

The spring rates aren't that crazy, and the drop isn't too low either. I think I'll be fine.

He is right Blues are only stock replacements and your drop is too low for that shock. However a lot of people use blues and gr2s without problems. AGX, illumina, or koni yellows would be best. at the lower end you could use skunk2 sport shocks they will handle that drop and spring rate fine.

Yeah I'm aware that Tokico blues are a stock replacement, but honestly, if I planned on keeping this car for a long time (4+ years) I would have choose something a little better. I only plan on keeping this car for only 1.5 more years. So I think Tokico blues will be fine. I'm sure its a lot better then my unknown mileaged OEM stock shocks at least.
