Car has about 10,500 miles and was lowered around 2,500 and no issues with uneven tire wear or tire wear at all so these will probably last till 25K.

hey, Why do you want to up size tires?
asking cause im interested with your setup

I can't imagine going any lower than the factory ride height on mine. I have to be careful on a low approach so I don't scrape.

@Lunatik Main reason for me possibly upsizing tires is they are a lot more
options to choose from in those sizes and more cheaper options. Car has 19k
now and the factory tires still going strong and wearing evenly.

has lowering it effected your AVS suspension at all? I just picked up my first Lexus. 14 fsport. absolutely in love. but she needs a drop. however. the adaptive suspension is not something I'm sure I want to play with. also what's your ground clearance on these rs-r' downs? any issues with rubbing on step driveways and such?

With the lowering springs it does not affect the AVS at all, only going to coil-overs will loose the AVS, but RSR and Tein make a set that retains the AVS. I have never measured the ground clearance..it does not rub at all full load or on steep driveways.. I have since added a front lip which will scrap on steep driveways so I now enter those slowly and at an angle so it does not scrap the lip.

How much do you guys pay for RSR Downs over there? I emailed the local rep here and he said they would be around AUD $900?! (US$645)

IDK how you guys live the lowered life, my front lip rubs sometimes at stock ride height on dips or steeper driveways, in fact my $60 lip protects my bumper I can image it being much worse lowered.
