I forgot to relay this to the board when I had my car lowered....

Lexus wanted ~900 to install my tanabes, and that was without an alignment. So I had my buddy do springs then went to Lexus for alignment($130). When I got there he asked if it was pulling and why did I think I needed an alignment. Told him about springs and he said "Lexus will pay for alignments within 6 months if purchase, so we'll just tell them it's pulling left and we'll have them pay for it". Something to think about. It's a little dishonest, but that's what they get for selling a sports coupe that looked like a 4x4

He also suggested spacers and said neither would void warranty.

That sounds about right. I highly doubt factory upgraded springs would be anymore aggressive than that.

Also, can the RSR or the Fsport lowering springs be used on the base RC? I know that the RC Fsport has a completely different suspension setup than the base.
