I installed Tein H-Techs on mine. I wanted to go for a conservative drop. Was going for that premium factory look. Nothing slammed. I have to say the car looks quite perfect. I'll post up some pics this weekend.

Has anyone had RSR Down installed on a 3IS AWD for over 1 year? If so ha you have issues with vibrations and Blown shocks and axles? I just got a Is250 Fsport and i'm not ready to **** it up yet.

I've had mine on for 15 months now and NO problems. Rides just like the day they were put on. And yes my car is AWD

Rear camber kit needed?
Not able to find a definite answer, but lowering on Downs, with 20mm spacer in the rear and 25mm up front, would I need to install a camber kit in the rear? Mine's a RWD
#280
I don't have experience with this particular mod on this car but I see no reason why you'd need a camber kit with that set up. Are you talking about clearing the fenders? I think plenty of people with stock f sport wheels, lowered run spacers and clear just fine (with 20mm) I think i've even seen 25mm.

Hey everyone - I just had my RS*R downs removed and the OEM springs installed back into my '14 IS 350 F Sport AWD. Unfortunately, I am now experiencing some clunking sounds and harsh vibrations when going over minimal bumps. I only had the RS*R downs on the car for 3 months and ~ 3000k miles. Anyone have experience with this issue or suggestions as to why I am hearing these sounds? Much appreciated!
Update: found the issue. Rear sway bar link was loose. Nothing to see here

Hi Guys
I'm new here so I wanted to say Hello to everyone
I have an IS200t rwd F-Sport MY2016 (prelift) and I want to lower it a bit. I wanted to go after your advices and get RS-R spring kit, however there is also another option. Do you have any experience with Triple S Suspension https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.792402564253956&type=1&l=a685b5d1b9 ? Will they be fine? They are about to lower a bit more than RS-R Half Down and bit less than Down (I suppose) - Triple S tells that the drop will be c.a. 25-30mm
WDYT??
Getting back to RS-R. I totally like the F-Sport OEM suspension working with stock 18x8j and 18x8.5j wheels. I wouldn't like to change tha handling at all. Will the RS-R springs make the car more soft and comfortable loosing the performance while cornering and braking?
RS-R specs
The same question for Triple S?
Thanks
