Default Lowering Options

Any springs available yet for the F Sport? Sits entirely too high for my taste. Needs to be lower!

Lol everyone is waiting. I'm dying here. I heard RSR is late Feb, Airrex has kit for like 5 large and BC coils might fit from IS. Tanabe is also on the works.

As you can see from the link below, this owner had the dealer install Tanabe NF210 from the GS and it worked. Looks good!

Doesn't look low enough at all, still appears to be a huge gap.

Well...it was on an AWD so it was a dramatic drop. For some reason, Lexus raises the car even more on AWD cars. Maybe they think people will drive their car in the snow and need the extra clearance?

Contact RSR, I'm sure they have something in the works already. The coilovers for the RCF already available.

RSR has put me on the email list. They are currently testing.

Eibach. has no plans for this car RWD or AWD or even the GS350 RWD or AWD

Tanabe has them for RWD

im currently researching part numbers on the GS AWD Fsport and RC AWD Fsport on Sewell parts .com

Not sure if the RC frame is the same as the RCF, but a member on the RCF forum used 14' IS350 BC Coilovers and it fit perfect with one minor mod to the rear lower shocks.

Why not wait? RSR should have coils for this car out really soon, they already have them for the RCF. Sounds like springs will arrive within the next 30-60 days.
