Anyone with long term coilover/lowering experience?
Does anyone have any personal experience with long term coilover (or even lowering spring) use?
Specifically for the AWD RC350.
What brand did your use?
How long did it last?
Did other components wear out early (e.g. CV axel).
Just acquired a 2015 AWD RC and I'm looking for a modest drop (1inch) of the ugly AWD front wheel gap. Not looking to slam the RC. Looking at coilovers since I figured with a 2015 car, the struts need to eventually replaced (they currently feel fine).

I did. However, since this car already has 93k mileage, I didnt see the point of changing springs on an old strut. I'm DIY, and have done many spring changes. Coilovers are just way easier to install.

You’re really better off with springs. How much are new OE shocks? Ride quality will be retained with the F sport springs paired. Coilovers will wear out suspension parts over time and it depends on driving style, road conditions, etc. It’s inevitable.
