BC Racing as a new set out of the RC350. Best selling coilovers for this car. If you want something a little higher, the RS-R systems are very good as well.

If you go coilover, do you lose any of those sport or sport+ features? Looking for a coilover setup for our RWD RC350.

You do loose the electronic dampening yes. But a coilover setup is much better than the factory settings will be.

You should check with J5. They make coilovers that work with the AVS system. They don't have an RC350 AWD version, but they can make a custom set for you. The price is a bit more than the RSR set, but you get to specify your spring rate and keep the electronic control.

I will likely go with J5 this spring for coilovers for my car.

Literally have found nothing that is advertised for the AWD model. I did come across a instagram owner who lowered his AWD, but I forget the specifics. I was just going to get the RSR Super Downs next spring. I have to get rid of that front gap I can stick my head in lol

Can anyone confirm RSR is the only option for AWD? They're spring rates are 10/9kg, compared to the 10/12 bc runs on their rwd setup. I need to fit an 11" wheel In the back and am scared that's not stiff enough.

RSR also doesn't offer custom spring rates

Hey all,

I should have pictures to post next week, but we have developed our own coilover options for the 3IS and RC models, both RWD *AND* AWD. Our shocks custom valved and are Made in the USA by Afco Racing Shocks... all lightweight billet construction, road and track ready. Available in single or double adjustable with Eibach ERS race springs and Hypercoil helper springs, in any rate between 12-20kgs.

We also eliminate the rear divorced spring setup and convert to true coilovers, as we have been doing with our RCF Penske setups.

Rafi

do you also lose the sharpens the throttle response, and raises the shift points or holds gears for longer on automatic transmissions? or is it just dampening your suspension?
