No. I only had alignment after springs installed and it wasnt cover by the warranty

I just bought a 2016 IS350 AWD in western Canada. Dealer said F-sport springs do not exist in Canada, but they are able to get them from Lexus USA. Now I'm wondering if they are just bringing in the RWD springs for me The springs haven't arrived yet, I wonder if I should shoot them a message and ask for a confirmation. But since they are installing it, and I have triple checked that no warranty is void... this will be a good test to see how these will do on an AWD car.

i hope they'll check to see if they physically fit before ripping the suspension apart. Will post update when it happens.

I installes the lowered springs today at lexus dealer. I dont notice anything at the front but the back is definitely lowered. Also I did alignment right after the springs installed. I am wondering do I need to do alignment again after they settled? The picture with the measurement tape was taken before the installation. And the alignment sheet

and... you sure the rear camber isn't adjustable? that's standard on just about all cars.

RWD: no camber adjustment.
AWD: front camber adjustment only.
That is, in stock form. Everything is adjustable with aftermarket parts.
With ~1" drop, no adjustment is required, it stays within specs.

They physically fit the AWD, but no one has tried it and no one will know what the ride height will ending up being like and how the ride quality will differ... RWD cars have higher spring rates at back vs front, while the AWD cars have a more evenly split spring rate between front and back.

If they physically fit then the AWD car will be slightly soft in the front and slightly stiff in the back. I imagine any difference (assuming they fit) would be negligible and go largely if not completely unnoticed, particulalry if you aren't going for track times.
