Default RS*R Super Down finally installed! (pics)

Received springs yesterday and installed them today! Know that there are few pictures of 4GS on RSR's, so here are my before and afters... What do you think?

As the springs are settling, it tends to bounce a little bit. All in all, adds a little bit of roughness but Lexus smoothness is still very present, just seems a little more fun.

that was a quick install. Push the wheels out a little more and it'll look solid.



On a side note (need the best deal on swift springs, please PM me if anyone knows. Last time swift hooked me up but I doubt I can get another one).

Looks really good. I'm on Tanabes now but seeing the RSR's has me considering moving to the Super Downs.

Is that the Wald spoiler you have?

Was gonna go with Tanabes or just RSR Down Sus, but I wanted more of a drop. Adds to the drive experience as well, fun suspension.

No, just the OEM add-on

I already am rocking the black chrome medium finish OEMs, not looking to switch em up soon.
Really cool looking on an overcast day & at nightfall

After some settling time, here's what we've got........

Looking pretty suave.
Rear tires seemed to have adopted a slightly negative camber. Is this anything to worry about?

alignment soon you need a before and after pic with and with out the springs

like the first picture is good without the springs but you need to take it again with the same angle with the springs!
