Just got my rsr downs installed. I think they are a little bumpy. I haven't gotten an allign ent as I want to wait a week to let the springs settle. I'm on stock wheels. Just wondering what you thought about the ride. I like the tight feeling but with " stock like " ride description, I think it's a lot more jerky. I'm going to by the tanabe brace next week, so we shall see.

Part of the confusion is the fact that they are part of the RSR Super Down series, but there are two drop heights (for AWD at least).
An explanation from RSR USA:
Thank you for your support of RS-R! We do apologize for the confusion. The springs you have are indeed the Down springs for the 2014 Lexus IS 350 AWD. It is labeled T197S Super Down, because in Japan, it is much lower according to the standards for the Japanese market. The actual Super Down springs for the 2014 Lexus IS is T197S2.
If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to give us a call or send us an email.

RS*R actually stopped shipping (or at least it looks like that is what they did) the Down version of the springs to replace the label to T195D to avoid the confusion. I noticed on their website that the part isn't in stock but when I ordered them from another place, I was told that they would be in stock this week.
