The fitment list doesn't list the RC F, but it specifically lists the 300 and the 350. So I would think it would specifically list the F as well. I would definitely contact their support team before ordering.

"Model Fitment:
  • 2016-2017 Lexus GS 200T*
  • 2018 Lexus GS 300*
  • 2013-2018 Lexus GS 350*
  • 2017 Lexus IS 200T*
  • 2018 Lexus IS 300*
  • 2017-2018 Lexus IS 350*
  • 2016-2017 Lexus RC 200T*
  • 2018 RC 300*
  • 2015-2018 RC 350*"
Edit: I am not familiar with the RC 350 suspension. But after a quick look at OEM replacement parts for the F and the 350 I have noticed that they do not share suspension components. The shocks, coils and even the coil seats are different part numbers. The F also uses a different arm assembly.

No Airlift does not have a kit for our car.

The biggest issue with the RC350 kit on the RC-F is that lower mounts are a ball on the F whereas the RC350 kit is a fork.

My friend used the 350 kit on his RCF and is working fine. There was a little fab work that needed to be done but I’m looking to get this system too since the airrunner deal I was gonna get fell through. I don’t have TVD and the set I was gonna buy was comin off a GSF. The custom bracket that would be needed to mount it was $1500 alone, plus another $1500 for the install so I’m opting for the airlift kit

air force suspension has a kit specifically for our car. It also addresses the bag rear sway bar issue. So the sway bar does not need to be removed as the bag does not touch the sway bar.

Although not cheap, Air Runner makes a kit specifically for the RCF.

I was just looking into getting the air lift kit for my GSF but noticed they only have it for GS not F. Was wondering the same thing if it’ll work.

Hey,

The management system would work but don't struts won't without modification to other chassis pieces.
