i think installing any sort of aftermarket susp, will lose your sport+ advantages. You'll just be riding on more aggressive setup all the time 24/7. so its a matter of preference.

As for waiting on new things, i would just wait until after SEMA to see what other companies may be offering... up to you if you can wait though....

yeah it would be bad to get rid of the AVS and sport+ feature after installing coils... i'm sure there should be some alternative to have that feature but a more aggressive stance...

I had rs r springs on my 13 gs fsport it was nice but if you guys dont mind having the rear sit lower then the front then go for it. I now have rsr coilsovers and I can tell you thats the best mod I have on my car. You can set it like stock or adjust to your likeing and on the plus side it handles even better then stock with the avs on sport +. If you dont mind spending more, coilsover all day. I was on the same boat as you guys didnt want to mess with the avs but really didnt like the look of my rsr superdown and it was a little bouncy on normal but sport+ was better.

The Sport + move adjusts the shocks on the Lexus. That is why if you switch to say RS-R springs, you keep Sport + mode. With the coilover setup, you are replacing the entire suspension coil/spring so sport + mode is no longer needed.Also you can adjust the suspension yourself with maybe 20-30 settings.

For most a spring with Sport + will do fine. For those that want the absolute best, the RS-R coilover is the way to go. You won't miss sport plus b/c the suspension is so damn good it makes it obsolete.

FYI, I've driven every RS-R combination so far with the new GS/IS except the black-i suspension and I'll have feedback on that soon.

No, no errors at all...and let's just say RS-R is working hard on something to make life easier for those with sport + and coilovers

When you switch to sport mode everything still work except your avs, because you have to remove the motor that go on top of the suspension. No dash light what so ever so don't worry about that and like blue print said rsr coils are superior to oem suspension everytime I take a turn it feels so good makes you say damn.
