RSR Down vs Super down
 
I am looking for a stiffer ride that feels more flat (I have the Non F Sport IS 250).. I don't want to be slammed and have a "hovercraft" look on the car so which one should I go with? I'll be on stock wheels as well. Do the RSR down's have a decent enough impact to make a difference?

The Downs will give it a noticeable drop.
Check my build thread in my signature for pics with the stock F Sport wheels and Downs installed. Later I changed the rims to the 20's though.

hovercraft hahaha.

I'd recommend Genuine Professional Lexus F Sport Blue Springs. 1" or less.

or

Tein H Tech springs. Same drop.

Swift or RSR down are great choices.

Contact us for pricing!

Downs are good and the car will be noticeably lowered. Ride quality is great. I did not do Super Downs myself because I think the camber change may cause the car to eat tires even faster. I have downs and camber arms in back.

I have RSR Downs. They are pretty good and the car looks good on them.

Where do you go to get these installed? A suspension based shop?

I went to Wheel Warehouse in Anaheim for the installation of RSR Down springs and the rear camber arms. They aligned the car too. I know their technicians and they do great work. I know one of the owners of the business and it continues to be a great shop.

Got my RSR downs installed this weekend at Meineke for 550$. I have the base model 250 as well, with 20mm in the front at 15mm in the rear spacers.

$550 including the parts or just installation?

Your car looks great, how do spacers effect the handling of the car? Do they at all? Did you get gear rear camber arms as well?
Also, how is the handling compared to stock?

Thanks! the spacers widen the horizontal wheel base so it adds some stability. no, i didn’t get the rear camber arms. i can definitely feel how much tighter the car feels around corners though.
