RC300 F-Sport Lowering
Just picked up a leftover 2016 RC300 F-Sport and I was wondering what everyone has been running on their RC300 F-sports specifically for lowering their suspension? Seems like most of the threads I've seen are focused on the RC350 AWD when it comes to AWD drops but none of the vendors or manufacturers are confirming that they work the same on the RC300. I'm assuming they do since it's practically the same car minus the engine detune but I'd love to see what has actually worked in the real world. Seems like the only confirmed set from the post digging I've found are the Tanabe NF210 TNF170s off the GS.

I have the RC300 F-Sport in AWD and I used the RS-R Downs (listed as being for the RC350 AWD) but for the front only...left the back as-is...and I think it balanced out the car well!
This link, I hope I did it right, shows a before and after picture:

Awesome, thanks. RS-R also confirmed to me via email that the Downs fit the RC300 F-Sport (but not the RC300h in ROW markets). Looking at your photos it does seem the rears are unnecessary and might as well save labor costs.

The TI 2000 springs cost a little more than the downs but are well worth the extra cash...

MY RC 350 F sport has the RS-R TI 2000 Lowering springs, front and rear, yes the front can do with a drop rather than the rear but I decided to do both and if I wasn't happy I could change the rears back to stock, the TI 2000 spring rate is 5% tighter than stock, the springs have now settled and the car sits great, no rubbing with a wider rim and factory tyres the handling has also improved.
