sage RCA blocks-20mm
ok, so as an alternative to running coil overs or lowering springs, will installing rca 20mm blocks be a good idea to use on the IS F? I know guys with GS/ISx run them, but haven't seen any threads(haven't searched) on the IS F using blocks.

thanks BS1. looks good. one thing I noticed after driving the F on Tein springs is, the roads here in SoCal are worse than I remember. I can live with stock suspension and the RCA blocks for a while.

Note how far back it pushes the front wheel due to the fact the knuckle is angled. The loss is caster is not a desirable thing and will reduce the steering response. Just FFT.

Why would one adjust the roll center on a vehicle that's not lowered?
What is the purpose?
Why would one ever want to reduce caster in our cars?
Does this have something to do with "stance"??

But... I don't think anyone outside of Toyota knows where the roll center is in relation to the COG, so adjusting the roll center closer to the COG is at best an educated guess. Someday I'd like to map out the suspension pivots and make that educated guess, but today is definitely not someday!

Regardless if the car is lowered or not moving or adjusting the roll center can make a difference in handling. It definitely can become much more important on a lowered car.

Just like Figs said this isnt the proper way. Its going to throw off your caster causing serious handling issues and maybe even longevity issues.
I would buy a nice set of coil overs or springs and struts. I have learned when lowering my lexus is300 to not cheap out. Just not worth it.
