Do the RS-R Basic-i Active Coilovers for XE30 AWD keep the AVS?

Yes. RS-R states that the Basic-i Active Coilovers for XE30 F Sport AWD cars are compatible with the factory AVS system, with preset damper force. The drive modes keep working and no warning canceller is needed. The car keeps every factory function, only lower.

Does this kit fit rear-drive IS models?

No. This kit is for the 2014-2020 IS 300 and IS 350 F Sport AWD. RS-R lists separate Basic-i Active kits for the rear-drive F Sport, XBAIT191MA for 2014-2016 and XBAIT196MA for 2017-2020. Bulletproof Automotive can confirm the right kit by chassis code before ordering.

How much lower will an AWD IS F Sport sit?

At the RS-R preset the front sits about 30mm to 35mm lower and the rear about 35mm to 40mm lower than stock. RS-R recommends minus 10mm to minus 60mm at the front and minus 10mm to minus 55mm at the rear.

Can the damping be adjusted by hand?

No. The Basic-i Active uses RS-R preset damping, and all adjustment is done by the factory AVS controller through the drive-mode switch. That keeps the car simple to live with and the factory character intact. There are no dials at the dampers to set or maintain.

Is a warranty included?

Yes. RS-R USA covers the kit for 1 year or 12,000 miles from the date of purchase, and Bulletproof Automotive handles any warranty claim with RS-R for the owner, so there is one point of contact after installation. Keep the purchase invoice for any claim.

Description

RS-R Basic-i Active Coilovers for XE30 Lexus IS F Sport AWD (2014-2020)

RS-R’s Basic-i Active Coilovers for XE30 Lexus IS F Sport AWD (2014-2020) cover the all-wheel-drive IS 300 and IS 350 F Sport. RS-R keeps the factory Adaptive Variable Suspension in control with preset damper force, so the modes still work and no canceller is needed, and pairs it with 10.0 kg/mm front and 8.3 kg/mm rear springs. The preset lowers the car about 30mm to 35mm at the front and 35mm to 40mm at the rear, with up to 100mm of downward range at each end. For an AWD F Sport that should look lower and still drive like a Lexus in winter, it is a well-judged kit.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
