Installed RR racing road and track coilovers and LCA bushings. One hour and twenty minute ride home and nothing but smiles. 100% better. Steering response is on point. Ride firmer yet planted and supple. Less Jarring, more confident. Braking is concise w zero nose dive. I could go on and on. Just sharing. And I should've done this sooner.

 

That looks good. I plan on doing my USRS this weekend or next. Did you do the work yourself? Any pointers?

Thanks Steve. I did not do the install. I had a rusted / frozen rear lower shock bolt and wasn't comfortable heating that up for removal to install the coilovers so I took it to a guy. I hung out while he did the work. It's very straightforward. Only suggestions if any are the obvious ones. Remove the surrounding support braces to allow for easier access.

You'll be happy to have them installed. Significant improvement.

 

Looks so good! I'm looking at TOMS coil overs eventually.

I would highly recommend you ditch those super sports and get yourself a set of the 4S's. It's night and day performance (especially rain / cold weather). The wear has been amazing too.

 

Similar results, installed the RR R&T on my GS-F a few months back and loved them... Dropped my lap times by near 2s on my very next trackday, all else the same being the same (minus alignment).

Install was a breeze, did it over a weekend on my own and Rafi quickly answered a few of my questions via text... Most annoying part was removing the trunk liner to access the rear top mounts. Nothing else was problematic or difficult, many resources available for torque specs and step by step instructions aside from the provided info by RR.

Had a shop do the alignment and ride height adjustments, and overall the car rides better than OEM and performs better as well... Along with the adjustability.

Cheers 🍻

 

Did you check corner weights?

 

I don't recall offhand, have to look it up.
GTE did the alignment with my weight.

 

I love the guys at GTE, but they don't check corner weights. They set alignment assuming your corner weights are all good.

 

I would welcome any shop recommendations in Georgia for these installs!

 

One thing is for sure! Getting an alignment after install is not a recommendation, in my case it was absolutely essential! 2 days after install was driving in heavy rain and my back end was very squirrely. Like had me nervous squirrely. Don't get me wrong, I know an alignment is 100% needed after install but everyone including RR said its not an emergency just get it done sooner then later so you don't cook your tires.

Post alignment everything's great. May get the spc adjustable arms. Alignment shop ( Lexus )and the master tech who owns a 700WHP GSF is the tech who works on my car there did the best they can but still in the red on rear camber -2.2°

Y'all have any thoughts on that? Not a big deal, or will I be cooking the tires?

 

2.2 will eventually result in some inner tire wear. I’d see if you can get it closer to 1 degree. The SPC arms are pretty much a must do on a lowered GSF.
