Description

RS-R Part Number: T558D

The RS-R Down Sus Lowering Springs for the Toyota GR Corolla are engineered to deliver a balanced combination of improved handling, reduced body roll, and a refined lowered stance while maintaining daily drivability and ride comfort.

Designed in Japan and tuned specifically for the GR Corolla chassis, the Down Sus spring set lowers the vehicle’s center of gravity and enhances suspension response without compromising factory shock compatibility. This makes it an ideal upgrade for drivers who want a subtle performance improvement and a cleaner stance without moving to full coilovers.

If you’re searching for GR Corolla lowering springs, this spring kit represents one of the most well-rounded suspension upgrades available for the G16E-GTS platform.

Ride Height Drop (GR Corolla)

Approximate lowering:

• Front: -20 mm to -25 mm (-0.8″ to -1.0″)

• Rear: -30 mm to -35 mm (-1.2″ to -1.4″)

This drop reduces wheel gap and improves visual stance while preserving suspension geometry and daily drivability.

Spring Rates

• Front: 6.12 kg/mm

• Rear: 7.14 kg/mm

These spring rates provide a sport-oriented balance between comfort and performance, improving cornering stability without creating an overly harsh ride.

Key Benefits of RS-R Down Sus Springs

Upgrading the GR Corolla with performance lowering springs provides noticeable improvements in both handling and aesthetics:

• Lower center of gravity for improved stability

• Reduced body roll and improved cornering response

• Improved steering feel and chassis control

• Enhanced stance with a mild, functional drop

• Designed to work with factory shocks and struts

• Balanced ride quality for daily driving

RS-R engineers design Down Sus springs by considering factory suspension geometry, damping characteristics, and ride height to ensure both performance and comfort.
