Yup, that's why I'm leaning away from RSR Downs and leaning toward these.

It's a little more bouncy but still very smooth. It's pretty close to stock ride quality. I was pleasantly surprised.

Sorry for all the questions man, did you have to do anything to adjust camber or toe after?

Default Ark Performance GT-S Lowering Springs 2014 Lexus IS350 w/ F Sport Package

I just had the springs installed at Ark Performance in Ontario CA. Installed on Friday, so far, the springs have not settled yet. As far as Highway driving, for as long as I don't run into any holes, the ride is smooth. For me it fees smoother than stock. It does feel more bouncy when going over small bumps and most definitely have to slow down now in parking lots.

Other than that, I am happy with the springs, and to me has a more aggressive stance. (Picture taken with my Galaxy Note 5)
