Solid build! Any concern that your shocks will prematurely wear with the RSR springs installed?

Awesome build bro! I love the TE37 Ultras and the weight... Now if I can only figure out how to take out the horn button/piece, I can wrap the silver trim on the steering wheel.

Any plans on doing any power mods? turbos or something?

Top Speed can probably install a Syvecs S8 ECU and do some magic

The car looks great

Great question Doug! I didn't weigh the wheels w/ the tires mounted vs the stock set up. Topspeed still has my stock wheelset so I'll be SURE to do this third week in July (when I'm scheduled to get the rest done). Dang, I should have thought of this. See, this is why you get paid the big bucks

Nice car dude.

Can't wait to hear her with headers.
JPM has the cutout now for our steering wheel from when they did mine. You could easily get yours done from them I'm sure. Thanks for the compliment

Hey Zydan! FIGS confirmed fitment and as we all kinda know now some bits are interchangeable from the IS F. I believe Mike Figaro even told me the parts number was identical. You won't believe the difference it makes.

I'm not too worried about that. I'm familiar with your concerns from other platforms, but there are a bunch of RC F's on here ( I say a bunch, I think around half a dozen or so) that are on the springs alone. I'm not hating here, but there are a few things I'm not digging about the RS-R coilover design. I'm just holding off until KW releases their KW V3 for us, Figs is working on this. I will say the springs alone provide a nearly identical ride to the stock setup, which was nice. I'm pretty impressed. I did some digging into who actually makes the springs and it's a solid company so I'm sure they did some R&D.

There's a 100 wet shot that might be in the works on down the line. I've contacted SlayerX on the forums since he has a lot of experience doing this. Right now I'm kinda backing away from that idea....for now. I'm not totally dismissing it, but I'm going to wait and see how I like the feel in the seat from the headers and exhaust alone.

Thanks everyone for the compliments, I truly appreciate it. I'm really loving this car more and more each day.

Hey Homie! I believe it just "pops" off. Give me a few hours when the rest of the world wakes up and I'll call them to confirm for ya and shoot you a PM

the RC-F part is different and more firm them the previous IS350 and IS-F physical bushing, but our poly bushing still provides added support over the factory bushing to reduce toe out and improve steering response.

We have the RC-F specific bushing and will do some metrics on just how much stiffer it is than the prior years as well as our solution.
Solid spherical mounts are also a custom option we can build and something we have already tested on the 3IS during the 25hr endurance race at Thunderhill.

^ Good choice on the exhaust! Lucky, I wish I was able to snag one on first production run...

Whoa... this is on another level here. AMAZING build so far!! I've been wanting to see a blue set of TE37 Ultra's on an RCF and it looks awesome. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see the AIMGAIN kit installed!
