Wrong Springs
Quick question, I purchased RSR springs for my 2014 IS350 Fsport, I was sent part# T275D and didnt question it, had them installed only to have my shop tell me they couldnt reuse the rubber caps for the rear springs. Now today i look up the part number only to find that i was sent 2nd generation is350 RWD springs, While my parts guys is rectifying it and getting me the right springs for my car I'm wondering if i should even be driving it? looks and drives great but knowing it has the wrong part has me a little anxious, Thoughts and or comments?

If they got the springs to fit without issue, it's probably not the end of the world.
The front springs have the same rating between the wrong part and the right part.
The rear are a little lower on the wrong part, but once again, if they got it to fit, it won't be the end of the world.
I think it would be reasonable to say you can drive it until the new part comes...I wouldn't load up the rear with stuff or passengers though.

Yeah the front springs should be fine but by the way the rear springs are mounted in a spring pocket on a control arm vs how 2IS mounted on shock assembly I wouldnt risk it.
There is chance it can pop out of place if is the incorrect length.

Looking sharp!
What did you do to the protective film on the rear doors?
