Hello all. Just wondering if anyone has any experience or has heard opinions on whiteline springs. If so, can you please let me know how it is. Considering either these, Swift or Eibach Sportine.

i have whiteline springs and sway bars and drive the car daily and do track days often and love them. it lowers the car just enough for me the ride quality is good, they dont feel harsh. as far as track performance they feel good much better than stock the car doesnt want to roll ver as bad in the corners like it did stock

Thank you for letting me know your experience. I'm definitely leaning towards these springs. Nice car too.

Hey buddy! I was wondering if you are rubbing with the wheels and tyres specs that you have. I am waiting for my CE28 club racer 2 to arrive with the same specs as your wheels, I am just worried that I might rub if I will run 265/35/18.

No rubbing , Tires are Advan APEX, I originally wanted AD08R but they are wider by almost 3/4 of an inch, APEX have more ''rounded'' edges like Michelin

Thank you! I am looking at the forums regarding the suspension and wheels setup, they mentioned that if your offset is below +40, you will definitely gonna rub unless you will do some modifications on your wheel arches. These got me worried and wanting to cancel my wheels and get a diff. one instead.

I agree on most suspension , 95% of people running Swift, they advertise 1.0/1.0 but in reality it's closer to 1.25 , Whiteline is only lowering 0.7/0.7 it helps a lot with not rubbing and this is why I chose that brand . I wanted more of an OEM+ kind of ride, This car already has low ground clearance from factory.

again thank you for taking your time answering my question. The Type R is my daily and family car and I dont want to run into some issues like rubbing because of my aftermarket wheels. Being said that, I think I will be ok with my CE28 then... hopefully.

One more thing, is it also true that if your wheel offset is below +45 you will get torque steer? Thanks!

I didn't really pushed it yet, plus ECU is out of the car to jailbreak so won't really have the opportunity to test it for a week but there's lots of people running these specs saying that the torque steer is minimal if any .

Keeping an eye on this thread. Trying to decide if I want to do suspension mods. Whether it be whiteline products or RV6.
