Hi,

Apologies upfront if you have read or participated in a similar discussion in the past, I have used the search function and read as much as possible but can't find the answers!

Trying to workout my desired suspension setup for my 2015 RC F.... The background is I daily my car and are active in the car scene attending 6-8 events annualy ranging of spirited drive days, drags, roll racing & track days. By no means do I want to set out to have the fastest lap times, just out to have some fun, nothing competitive. I do enjoy driving the car at the limit!

Only had the "F" for 6 months still getting familiar with the car, so I do have a wealth of knowledge of how it handles in OE form at the limit. The forums and majority of the vendors continually push the main coilovers (RS-R, BC Racing, Tein including the higher end option of Penske, KW & Ohlins) which I think the upper tier is overkill for me!

Across the forums and review all I find is suggestions of get this, get that without a huge amount of context, things I am keen to understanding is:

- How it rides on a daily across city roads & backstreets at cruising speeds and through spirited driving
- If you had to put a % on the feel in performance of the ride after the coilovers vs. OE what would that be and why
- What was it your main use of your car 90% track & 10% street aka weekend warrior and what is your driving style
- How focused are you on performance vs. comfort
- How much of the functionally do you actually use of your coilover setup ie: have you adjust and readjusted your configuration or have you just got them installed and never touched it again?

Thanks!

 

I would say, Penske/RR racing as they developed specifically for the RCF.

 

RSR is our most popular coilover we sell.
Then KW V3 and BC Racing w/ Swift upgrade.

What would be your recommendation in order of preference from buyers feedback that improves handling at the limited with similar feel to OE setup? What range of BC Racing are you referring too?

 

Appreciate it, somewhat helpful but as it’s not the same chassis platform, it’s hard to take shy of the feedback and apply it to the RC F application. This only help brand equity...

Thanks, any help goes along way when it comes to suspension...

 

RSR is at the top.

BC Br series.

I Just installed my CKS suspension last week. Too early to give an accurate opinion, but they are a mid priced coil and are doing well so far.

 

Thanks CKS gets good feedback on the GSF platform but early days on RC F... I would be interested to hear your detailed feedback!

 

What are the options for RS-R Super i, Best i? Is there a Basic i for the RC F???

 

RR Racing.....

 

I believe the only option available from RSR is Sports i: https://www.rs-r.com/product/lexus-r...oilovers-2015/

I'm looking for the same thing... Had Swift Lowering springs on my previous car, but wanna do it differently on the RC-F this time around

 

Ohlins appears to be one of the better quality setups.

 

Correct.

Only this one is available. If you are interested in this one, I can ship it to NSW.

for those that have 2017+ i'm totally keeping an eye on RS-R's R&D to retain AVS. I'm on CKS now and like them but would switch in a heartbeat if there was a coilover that gave me back AVS.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us. Our R&D department are currently developing and test fitting the Active Coilovers for the RC F.

At this time there is currently no release date. Please keep an eye out on our social media pages for further updates.
