The RC shares its suspension with the GS, or the facelifted(2017 and up) IS. If that clears things up a little.

^^ Thanks. It will be interesting to see it in the flesh when it gets here, I do have a 2017 IS so what you are saying is technically, the RC will have the same suspension as my 2017 IS.

Yes, however thats not to say that the IS has the same size wheel wells or panel gaps. That is where the difference lies.
