Default RS*R super down lowering springs

Just bought some RS*R super down lowering springs for my 2014 GS350. Super stoked, as it will be the biggest mod I've done on it (cosmetically) so far.Does anyone have them already installed?

Any advice or critiques regarding driving with these installed? I'd love some pictures, as there are very few out there.

Basically, it rides like its in Sport+ all the time... not unbearable, but its definitely more rough. No other mods.. just springs on stock shocks.

Sounds tolerable to me. Definitely looks super clean.
I hear on non F-sport RWDs the drop seems to settle a bit lower.

Having issues getting on steep driveways? I'm not lowered but the skippers sometimes scrapes. Once i get my j5
I'll make the rear lower than the front to compensate.
