Glad to see you lowered it man! Looks great!

 

Yup! I finally did. Did you install your RSR+BC Coilovers? Yours looks lowered as well but in your build thread (Not Installed Yet).

I lowered mine with the first JIC Coilovers for the RCF with up to 32 to 36 dampening levels.

 

I also i have JIC coils, hey we meeting up this Friday nite, and getting some good foods and a few locations for pictures, if u free stop by check out Brian thread for more info. By the way , your RCF is looking dope

 

You're on coilovers or air? Whats the tank in the back? I had BC Coilovers on it, removed them before I got the wheels because it was too low, now I'm just on the RSR Springs and love it. I don't have to worry about scraping on every single bump in the road. Tampa roads aren't the smoothest near the city.

 

Hey! ISF Leader of Western Region... lol! How long have you had your JIC? How many times have you serviced yours if any? I'm scheduled to work night shift on Friday but if I'm called for Jury Duty in the morning, I'll join you guys.
I have both... lol! It's considered Bagless Air Suspension using Coilover topped with an Air Cup.

I went with this route so, I can ride over some mild/moderate potholes, dips, bumps, humps, etc in Los Angeles. It's not the best here either. I was gonna go with BCs also but he recommended JIC for a comeback in the suspension world. Even with the BC Coilover's highest height, it's still low?

I got my Reflector Lights modified + Diffuser Brake Lights in operation:
May the Brake Force Be With You~

 

Nice bud! Glad you're getting to use that speed on a safer environment. Looking forward to seeing you soon. We gotta get some Fs together for a nice group track day.

 

I'll have to look into getting an air cup kit for the BC's or just getting something else completely different. I haven't seen many people on BC Coilovers on the forums. The shop I was at said the rears were at it's highest point and I was on stocks rubbing and scraping everywhere. The front still had some room to go up.

 

Yup! Yup! I'm planning to go to next year for the Lexus Performance Driving School. Are you? Btw, I got summoned today for jury duty so, im off at my work tonight and can make it to the Car Meet depending on how tired I am.
That's weird. Maybe they gave you the coilovers for the RC350? I also had the BC but was never installed since I went for the JIC route. Let us know how it goes if ever you go for aircups too. Hehe

 

I got the Artisan Spirits Carbon Fiber Rear Fender Molding:

 

Fuhhh..

Do you still have my number? Shoot me a text, we're having a small meet tonight. I heard you were coming. (If you don't have my number, shoot me a text # in my signature.)

Skid Plate from Protekt




I got it from the last Lexus Car Meet organized by Meraki. I barely had the time to get it installed at Tommy's Music Box. Here are some pics prior to install:





But I finally did it. Tommy said that it's impressive because it's made up of a high grade plastic. Really meant for the road. I just wished I knew about it and had it. It's good for RCFs that are "front-lip-less." I think I should ask for additional parts on both sides like the FRS(s)...





Aftermath of not seeing a freaking blown out tire at night on the fast lane while getting the car lowered for the first time...



I am still getting my front lip repaired with re-inforced metal and a high quality carbon fiber cloth. I wonder how it will look after it's done. Oh... the risk of getting a front lip... sigh~

 

I am also debating what new tire sizes I should get when I upgrade from Hankooks to Michelin PSSs... I am trying to play with the tire calculator...

 

Where are you getting the front lip repaired?

 

I'm getting it repaired at Platinum VIP. It has been a while since they needed the special resin for CF so, I will check them out sooner or later. I'm not in rush atm since it's easier to drive without it.

@Build Thread:
I just got new/slightly used Racing Brake 2pc Rotor Set for Front and Rear from a friend who has a White RCF. I recommend to get them via Figs since he has better customer service than the direct manufacturer of brake rotor goodies. I got my Endless MX72 Brake Pads installed as well. They grip really good. No squealing on hard breaking. Slight squealing on very light braking. I don't mind squealing since I'm used to the OEM. I rather have good grip with some squealing than quiet but less stopping power for a heavy car. But with lighter weight mods, it should be a lot better. Faster launch and stops quicker than stock.

My Used Front Stock at 12,700 miles: 33 lbs

----
New Racing Brake 2pc Rotor: 26 lbs

---
My Used Rear Stock Rotor @ 12,700miles: 23 lbs

---
Racing Brake Slightly Used Rear 2pc Rotor: 16 lbs

---
My Weight Savings are not the same as comparing New OEM vs New Racing Brake Rotors:
===Front : 33 lbs - 26 lbs= 7 lbs each x 2 = 14 lbs
===Rear : 23 lbs - 16 lbs = 7 lbs each x 2 = 14 lbs
Losing those extra weight made my car lighter and faster at launching than before since the wheels can spin faster.
---
Endless MX72 Brake Pads for RCF: Front has no problems with brake pad sensor placement. However, the Rear brake pad sensor design is located on the bottom portion which was hard to reach. They should've placed it higher. There was not a lot of cord to be pulled but it's in place.

 

Re: 2pc Rotors
-Just a heads up, there are times that you will hear a *Clank* when it's about to expand due to heat which is an interesting feature. The first time I heard it, I was on the freeway dodging blown out tires. I could've sworn I dodged all of them. Then, a loud *Clank.* I got a paranoid for 10 mins if those blown tire pieces messed up my rims, etc. Then, I remembered my 2pc rotors. lol!
