As far as drop goes, I want as close to OEM ride as possible, I just want to minimize the wheel gap. I'll check out your suggestions.

I'll probably go wheels after I drop and throw on exhaust.
I just got the Invidia q300 on my 200t F Sport last month so far so good. It rides smoothly but if you expecting it to be super loud you're gonna have to get the midpipe with it.

For sure, I actually got the axle back first to see if I liked the volume/note of the exhaust. I wanted it louder so I got the mid-pipe, then it was perfect, i would not say that it was "super loud" but just louder and more sporty. Best investment on my car for sure I think.

Yeah, I'm down to meet up. Just give me a head sup and I'm down.

I'm thinking I'll be buying the Q300 axle back soon

Welcome to club lexus. Rsr down springs also isn't too aggressive. And no tire rub. A meeting sounds fun, lol. San bernardino here.

How to the RSR springs ride comparred to Tanabe?
I know Tanabe is claimed to be within 5%. Can anyone remark on the ride in terms of stock for RSR?
Coils are out because I want to keep the adjustable dampers and I only want a mild drop.

When I had the rsr down springs. The ride felt just as good as stock. Some coilovers have adjustable dampers. I switched from springs to rsr blacki coilovers. Very happy with the ride quality after getting my dampers adjusted the way I like it. It is VERY low in the rear. Rsr sporti coilovers probably would have suited me better.

Welcome to CL and to the 3IS family. I have RSR down springs and, if anything, they ride a little better than the stock F sport springs. The car is not bouncy or harsh at all. I am in Aliso Viejo / Irvine and would be down for a meet.

Here's a picture of the drop.
