Default My review on RSr super down springs 13 Fsport AWD

It has been a week since installed and I have been driving the car everyday since, the drop is really nice and I love it, Massachusetts roads suck so the ride is very bouncy, it's better in sport+ mode, I may have to remove those dampener motors so they don't go back to normal everytime you shut the car off. I do have a slight vibration around 73-77mph with 4 adults in the car but when I'm by myself it's smooth. Hope this helps anyone looking at these springs. Any questions please feel free to reply here.

I'm also in MA and really want to get a set of these and I also have a 13 AWD. I have a pair of the RSR downs and haven't installed them yet because I keep considering the super downs.

Any issues with speed bumps? Also, how bouncy is it exactly, is it really that noticeable or uncomfortable? I work in Boston so I drive on some pretty ****ty roads fairly often. Also, how is your alignment after getting these installed. I'm considering getting the rear camber kit but am curious what the front camber is like with these.

No issues with any speed bumps or driveways yet, and It's bouncy if it's not in sport+ mode like if you were on a speed boat feeling all the waves lol, I'm getting an alignment soon the fronts don't look bad and the rears do look a little negative, I'm hoping this alignment will fix my vibration because it is def off somewhat after doing the springs.

I'm not going to get a camber kit yet solely for the reason I want to see how my 10.5 in wheels fit in the back without rubbing, maybe after i have my wheels put on I will see if I need to adjust them more positive or negative

A little update, went in for an alignment today it was very off as I suspected, the front wheels were toe'd out and the rear wheels were toe'd in, could very much be a contributing factor to my highway vibrations but only way to tell now is to load up my car with people. Here is my alignment sheet, new camber in front is -2 ish and rears are now -2.5 to -2.8

Curious on what kind of impact this will have on your tire wear in the front. The back can be corrected with the rear camber kit but we're out of luck on the front. I thought that most were able to get to around -1 on the front but I guess that's not always the case.

when i had my s2000, i had -2 in the front and -3 camber in the rear and tire wear was suprisingly not that bad. i cant say the same for the lexus yet as every cars suspension and handling is different.
