Default Springs for RWD RC350 F SPORTS

Hello All,

I will be picking my car up in next few days when the dealer takes the delivery..
But I just cant drive around in 4x4 style for too long..
It seems like only option right now is the Tanabe NF210?? for $360?
OR are there other options available right now?

Congrats man!
EDIT: Found the RC RWD springs for less from a forum sponsor on here: http://www.b2autodesigns.com/advance...tnf182&x=0&y=0

These guys have RWD and are using them:

The drop looks more even if with the 4GS springs, where the ones designed for the RC have a raked look....from what I can tell.

I also have the Tanabe NF210 for the GS and am very pleased with the results.

I emailed RSR yesterday trying to get an ETA on their lineup for US.

And the cars look great guys! I'm jealous. Every time I walk to mine and see the wheel gap

Lexus is checking every two weeks on these for me. I'll let you know when/if I hear something.
I haven't seen that before, forget the RSRs. Thanks for the info! I'll wait.

Which spring will give more drop though? Tanabe for Rc? Or for 4GS?
