Default First RC 350 F SPORT on a COILOVER KIT !!!

Hey Guys/Girls
i know the hot topic on the forums has been companies not moving forward with working on a full coilover kit on the f sport. Well here are a few pics of ANGIE on her new BC RACING COILOVER KIT. Being a local in miami i reached out to BC RACING and was able to work something out with them in order to get the ball rolling with them being able to start mass producing the kit. I just had the kit installed and have put around 400 miles on it already and can trully say that the ride is incredible. The kit has removed all body roll on sharp turns, it gives the car a mean look (to say the least).i'll try to get more pics up soon but you can see more on my IG under mfresh_21

enjoy guys and hang tight for the kit to hit shelves. feels good to be the first

AND THE ONLY REASON I DIDN'T GO LOWER IS BECAUSE ILL BE ADDING MY WHEELS NEXT WEEK =)

I said I wouldn't mod my car, but you're making me think again. That looks so good!

vxlyf3 yes you do lose the dampening adjustment when you set the car to S+ but honestly i never was able to tell much of the difference because i think the perkiness of the throttle response and high gearing of the tranny out shined the supposed dampening system. Keep in mind that the kits will have manual dampening adjustment ***** for each strut.

SGMISF Agreed the car looks so much better in person, pictures truly don't do it justice.

Arfboy DO ITTTTTTTT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im telling you it's a head turner

Im just wondering is there a way the electronic dampending adjuster of the lexus can be modified or somehow work with an aftermarket coilovers. For example the teins have them and its electronically adjusted as well.

Otherwise I have to say its only a bit of a difference because i can feel the soft normal but in sports + its not a big noticeable change.
