Got some Rsr Black-i coilovers on my 02 lexus ls430 lowered on staggered 20" Giovanna Bogota wheels.

Seems like RS-R is very popular with Lexus.

Hey man love the videos. Definitely giving you a follow. I plan on running the exact same tyres, but on a 18x9.5 +38 rim. Will be lowered with with spoon springs. Just wondering your thoughts on tyre run or not? I see you have said no rub with your setup. I know it’s only 2mm but that could be the difference. I’ve been told these ad09 run quite wide size for size too.

I'm looking for a more track oriented setup. Does RS-R have a more track oriented line-up, or is there a way to change the spring rates of these coilovers to better suit my needs? Like have them come with Swift Springs 12K Front and 10K Rear already setup?
@@phothrottle hell yes, ask and you will receive. That’s perfect, looks like it’s coming out soon! Thank you 🍻

Is removing the end link and the other side of the sway bar the “secret” to keeping the axel from slipping out? I’ve seen people run into the axel coming out and having to replace the seal but haven’t seen a video where the remove both of the items mentioned. Video Min. 4:39

Yes that is the way we didn't it and we had no issues. Of course you would use caution and always keep an eye in the seal. It's a petty straight forward install.

RS-R didn't put grease as a requirement in the instructions so we didn't.

Don't forget the spoon lower ball joints.
@phothrottle Жыл бұрын
Not sure if a need those at this time. I heard the rigid collars makes a huge difference. The Spoon lower ball joints is a huge installation process.

Did you guys have to get a four-wheel alignment after the installation? I've been convinced to go in this direction versus lowering springs. Thanks.
@phothrottle8 ай бұрын
Michael they recommend wheel alignment after the installation. I took mine in and pretty much wasted my money. The alignment was within specs.
