Do the RS-R Sports-i Coilovers for XE30 IS fit F Sport cars with AVS?

RS-R lists the Sports-i Coilovers for XE30 RWD cars for the 2014-2016 IS 250 and IS 350, and offers separate Best-i Active and Basic-i Active kits for F Sport cars with the factory AVS system. Owners of AVS-equipped cars who want to keep the drive modes should choose one of the Active kits.

How much lower will a 2014-2016 IS sit?

At the RS-R preset the car sits about 40mm lower at both the front and the rear. RS-R recommends minus 5mm to minus 60mm at the front and minus 10mm to minus 65mm at the rear for adjustment. The full-length bodies allow more range if the owner wants it.

How firm are the Sports-i coilovers?

RS-R tunes the Sports-i range for a firm, controlled ride on winding roads and at the circuit. With 36 damping steps the owner can soften the ride for daily use or firm it up for a track day, which makes it more flexible than a fixed-damping kit.

Can the dampers be rebuilt?

Yes. RS-R builds the Sports-i range in-house in Japan, so the dampers can be overhauled rather than replaced. Rebuilding restores the original damping, and RS-R USA covers the kit for 1 year or 12,000 miles from purchase. Bulletproof Automotive handles any claim with RS-R for the owner.

Is professional installation recommended?

Yes. Fitting coilovers involves the brakes, hubs and suspension mounts, and the car needs a wheel alignment afterwards. A shop familiar with the IS will also set the ride height evenly side to side, which is worth doing before the alignment.

Description

RS-R Sports-i Coilovers for XE30 Lexus IS 250 / IS 350 RWD (2014-2016)

RS-R’s Sports-i Coilovers for XE30 Lexus IS 250 / IS 350 RWD (2014-2016) are for the early third-generation IS without adaptive suspension, and for owners who would rather set the damping themselves. RS-R developed the Sports-i range for winding roads and circuit days, and this kit pairs 10.0 kg/mm front and 8.3 kg/mm rear Ti2000 springs with monotube dampers adjustable through 36 steps at each end. The preset lowers the car about 40mm all round. Assembled in Osaka and serviceable through RS-R, it suits a rear-drive IS that is driven with some intent and should look the part.

Design and Performance

RS-R shapes the adjuster needle so each click changes damping by a different amount across the range, spreading the 36 steps over a useful window from road to track. Full-length adjustable bodies keep stroke at any ride height.

36-step damping adjustment front and rear
Monotube dampers with a large oil volume to resist fade
Full-length adjustable bodies
Ti2000 springs, RS-R’s lightweight, sag-resistant spring range

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.
