wperena - Your drop looks amazing! If you felt the IS looked like a monster truck, good think you never got the RC!! I had an IS and I thought the height was more than adequate but then again, I am older and not trying to drop the car too low.

Your ride looks so nice! Im also thinking of getting the M590s. What are the wheel offset for both sizes? Also what tire sizes youre currently running? Thanks!

What shocks are you using with your RSR Down springs?

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
Are you using the F-sport performance shocks with the RSR Down springs?

You will find that almost everyone with lowering springs are on stock shocks.
There are little to no aftermarket struts/shocks available for the 3IS, so everyone uses the stock ones.
Once you aren't doing a crazy drop, the stock shocks hold up pretty good.

Got it. I need to replace my shocks on my 3IS Lexus 350. I assume then I could go with the F-Sport Performance shocks and be just fine ... yes?

Assuming you have a RWD, then yes you could go with the F Sport Performance shocks...if you can find them.
