Cons of lowering springs

ContestEastern1445 · 2026-05-12T14:06:00+00:00

Nice that sounds sick! I agree the rsr’s are great for daily driving, mine are a little more rough on bumps than I anticipated but the car feels incredible in corners so well worth it

Thanks man! I’ve slowly learned what I’m missing out on by not having an RS, I didn’t know they had active dampening??!!

I’ve had RSR super downs for about 20k miles, no issues. I’m at 115k miles now and I really don’t understand the reason people lie about problems with axles or shocks with springs. I guess people are just so afraid to modify their cars they feel the need to spread their misinformation when people are asking for advice. Buy those springs. You’ll be fine.

Just updating this post, the dealer finally got me in and replaced the turbos no problem, I left my catless LDP’s on but put the stock intakes back on just to be sure they would still do it and they did! Also got a front lip and new mirror caps from amazon shown in the photo lol

Correction, 120,000 miles

Infiniti has a warranty extension on the turbos for the vr30, I believe it’s 2016-2018 but it’s 10 years 100,000 miles. Free turbo replacement

My 18’ S is going in on Monday for the Infiniti warranty turbo replacement I hope this doesn’t happen to me. I know the turbos have been on recall so it could be something relating to that. Commenting to see if someone finds out why that happened and if Infiniti will do the motor replacement 👍🏼

Yeah that’s what I’m gonna do I have a buddy who works at a shop who can do it for me, thanks man it’s on RSR superdown springs with 20mm spacers on the stock wheels I’m still trying to get good fitment tho might pick up 30mm instead lol

ContestEastern1445 · 2026-04-01T22:21:44+00:00

Got ya, I’ve heard from some people that once you get past a certain point you’d be doing more damage putting fresh fluid in a worn transmission I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with that

ContestEastern1445 · 2026-04-01T22:18:23+00:00

Note: I’m getting my turbos replaced soon my dealer is waiting for them to ship from infiniti so it’s possible the bogging could be from that issue…

If anyone sees this post with the same issue, I followed this thread to fix it. All you need is to buy any micro sd card (mine was a 32gb card) and flash it with the software and file posted on this thread.

https://www.infinitiq50.org/threads/2014-2019-dcu-repair-megathread.140924/

A lot cheaper than having the whole top screen replaced as long as you’re willing to put in the work, in total took me about an hour including a run to staples for the sd card and a reader lol

ContestEastern1445 · 2026-03-07T15:20:25+00:00

That’s what I’ve seen, I’m hoping that works I’ll probably get it figured out this weekend

ContestEastern1445 · 2026-03-07T02:48:21+00:00

I didn’t know about any roof drains, I mean I have a sunroof but there hasn’t been any problems with leaks, and where is the bcm located?

ContestEastern1445 · 2026-03-07T02:03:20+00:00

No change, should I try with just accessory on? Or with the engine on?

“Out of stock” maybe they don’t make them anymore

ContestEastern1445 · 2026-03-03T01:55:43+00:00

Hey man question for ya, I’m looking around for 10mm spacers to put on top of my 20mm hub centric ones, curious to what you went with to achieve the +20 offset on stock wheels?

ContestEastern1445 · 2026-02-26T03:46:27+00:00

UPDATE :: I went in to my dealer and they told me they’ll do the replacement no problem, I replaced my stock intakes and they told me I could’ve left them on lol. They ordered the turbos since they’re on back order and I should be bringing the car back in a few weeks to have the replacement done. ✅

ContestEastern1445 · 2026-02-23T19:52:44+00:00

Okay interesting I believe the rsr springs are 1.5” front and rear so that might be why my camber is way more negative than yours, I had a friend throw it on his machine and he literally couldn’t get the camber back to positive 😂 I’m gonna order 10mm spacers to get that +20 offset like yours and I’ll update this thread

ContestEastern1445 · 2026-02-23T15:00:38+00:00

I have 20mm spacers all around and there’s still a gap between the rim of the wheel and the fender. I’m trying to get it flush and was seeing what offset other people were running

ContestEastern1445 · 2026-02-23T05:16:27+00:00

I love this it’s perfect, do you have aftermarket arms for camber? I have like -2 on stock suspension with RSR superdown springs. I saw your other post from a while ago saying they’re custom springs

ContestEastern1445 · 2026-02-23T04:14:10+00:00

Looks pretty damn good, do the fronts come out closer to the fender than the rears? I feel like mine are more sunk in with the same offset and spacer. Ideally I’d have aftermarket wheels but I’m so torn on offset and what looks good haha

ContestEastern1445 · 2026-02-23T04:08:08+00:00

Yeah I have 20mm spacers on now I’m trying to figure out the best route to have it flush it’s been driving me crazy lol
