Confused with the RSR Spring packaging for AWD? Don't be!
An explanation from RSR USA:
Thank you for your support of RS-R! We do apologize for the confusion. The springs you have are indeed the Down springs for the 2014 Lexus IS 350 AWD. It is labeled T197S Super Down, because in Japan, it is much lower according to the standards for the Japanese market. The actual Super Down springs for the 2014 Lexus IS is T197S2.
If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to give us a call or send us an email.

Pics of my springs that I received.
Part of the confusion is the fact that they are part of the RSR Super Down series, but there are two drop heights (for AWD at least).

They revised the RS-R web site and I am even more confused now. Is T197D the Same as T197S??

It looks like RS-R revised their part# from T197S to T197D. From my understanding, the "S" was always meant for Superdown and "D" for Down. Since these are the "Down" springs, now it makes sense that the part# is T197D which should be less confusing from here on out.
You can also see that they updated the USA website: http://rs-r.myshopify.com/products/d...-is250-350-awd
It shows the new part# as T197D with a message noting the change:
"**Part No. Supersedes T197S**"

Glad to see they changed up the nomenclature and fixed the website. It should help alleviate the confusion surrounding the product. But the better questions is will they be fixing the labels as well to show that the Down Springs are indeed in the down series and not the superdown series.
