I ending up using Lexus F sport springs on the front only to get rid of the AWD awful front wheel gap. GS awd parts will physically fit in the rc350 front suspension. Most coilovers for the Rc are the same model number for the GS.

Thanks, are you happy with the height of the f sport springs? They’re supposed to lower it an inch. I was mainly looking at them because they’re not very expensive and oem so they should work with no problems.

Also yeah we need to revive rc forums. I think they’ve come down enough in price that people are buying them now. So much car for the money. Mine was $20k before taxes with 107k miles. Bought it a month ago

I am very happy with the F-sport springs. Its a subtle 1 inch drop, that makes it more even with the rear. Wheel gap is still present, but it is not horrendously offensive like the OEM wheel gap. Reverse rake is gone, and I'm not staring at my hood anymore when driving. Handles like OEM. It pretty much makes the AWD look like the the OEM RWD. Best price to is from Bell Lexus in Scottsdale- no taxes and free shipping. If you want to eliminate wheel gap or be low, these are not the springs to get.

There is so little info about modding the RC online. I bit the bullet and paid Alldata to get detailed RC350 service manual info. So if you are DIY and need torque specs, I have them all. Alot of the torque specs I find here don't apply to our AWD RC because they are for RWD or they were from older GS/IS platforms.

Pencap can you confirm PN ordered for the front F-sport springs. I looked at the schematic but wasn't sure.

Great, and yeah I can currently fit my entire fist in my front wheel gap. I think I’ll get the get the f sport springs then. I am definitely diy and if you can the torque specs I’d greatly appreciate them.

Sorry Pencap one more question, what year is your RC?

cwright05

Model year doesn’t matter, I just looked it up. On bell Lexus site at the top there’s a fit check and it said yes for my 2015 350

OK thanks, I have a 2023. Will see if the fit check works.

My Rc is 2015, but I don't think the 2023 strut is any different.

I'm at work, so I can only upload this now. But these are the suspension bushings for the LCA to loosen for reindexing the bushings. I'll post other torque specs when I can.
