Default 21 Lexus IS350 on RSR/Super downs

Hello,

Today I installed the RSR superdowns. I went with this option because I plan to switch to 20x9’s on 245-30’s. Which will bring a little wheel gap back. (Planned ahead)! The install did however cost me about 3.5hrs As I got stuck re installing one of the rear springs. Fronts are super easy though.

AFTER

I am planning to drop my IS350 AWD too, but I heard the back springs is hard to work with, is any tip how to put the rear spring back on? Thanks

I love RSR super down. That is my current set up right now. I have also have new RSR coilovers but will install once I get my rims. As far as the rear springs install, its easier than the front for me. They both technically easy but for the fronts, I needed someone to push down to get the bolt on top onto the strut.

Yes!! Very much so to re install. My suggestion is to have a pry bar. After you place the new spring and jack the lower control arm up. The holes will not line up perfectly!

Do you have any pictures of your fitment? Interested because I've only seen pictures of the downs but those sit way too high for my taste.
