Default Any IS AWD running RS*R Super Down Springs?

I've looked at all the forums searching through everyone's IS on RS*R Super Down Springs but mostly they're RWD. Any owners with an IS AWD running super down's? I want to see Proper Pictures on how big the drop is on the ISAWD. I'm currently running on RS*R Down Springs.

Thank you!

Looks amazing! Got some questions regarding the super down since you had them on before you went to coils.

1. Any rubbing issues while driving it?
2. How was driving through the east coast with the snow?
3. I'd be running 18's for summer as I see those are 19s T7R 2 Pieces you have on. Any issues with stock and or aftermarket?

Looking forward for feedback!

Kind regards,

1. Only time I rubbed was when I had F: 25mm / R: 20mm spacers on my stock wheels with people in the back
2. Im still driving with the same height. The car handles snow like a champ. I lost my Aimgain Rep lip last week due to me turning my car into a plow
3. 0 Issues so far. I went with conservative rim sizing with the proper tire size all around.

Other than that I was quite happy with them. I have my coils adjusted to the same height as the Superdowns.

Never had it to begin with. One of the reasons why I went with the IS300 vs the 350.

I knew I would get coils for it eventually.

Oh perfect! That helps a lot. What's your rim and tire sizes you're running for summer?

Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate that!
