Do the RS-R Basic-i Active Coilovers for XE30 IS F Sport keep the AVS?

Yes. RS-R states that damper adjustment on the Basic-i Active Coilovers for XE30 F Sport cars of 2014-2016 is done through the factory AVS controller. The drive modes keep working, no canceller is needed and the car behaves as it does from the factory, only lower.

How is the Basic-i Active different from the Best-i Active?

Both are AVS-compatible and share spring rates and height ranges. The Best-i Active adds a secondary 24-step dial at each damper so the owner can tune the base damping. The Basic-i Active uses RS-R preset damping and costs less, which suits owners happy with the factory modes.

How much lower will the car sit?

At the RS-R preset the 2014-2016 IS F Sport sits about 35mm to 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.

Does this kit fit non-F Sport IS models?

RS-R lists it for the 2014-2016 IS 250, IS 300 and IS 350 F Sport RWD, chassis GSE30 and GSE31, which carry AVS. Rear-drive cars without AVS take the RS-R Sports-i kit for the same years instead. Bulletproof Automotive can confirm the right kit by chassis code before ordering.

Is a warranty included?

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

Description

RS-R Basic-i Active Coilovers for XE30 Lexus IS F Sport RWD (2014-2016)

RS-R’s Basic-i Active Coilovers for XE30 Lexus IS F Sport RWD (2014-2016) are the most direct way to lower an early third-generation F Sport while keeping its Adaptive Variable Suspension. All damper adjustment is handled by the factory AVS controller, so there are no dials to set and nothing changes about how the car is driven day to day. RS-R fits 10.0 kg/mm front and 8.3 kg/mm rear springs, and the preset brings the car down about 35mm to 40mm at both ends. It suits the owner who wants the stance and the factory drive modes without paying for the Best-i Active’s extra adjuster.

Design and Performance

The bodies are full-length adjustable monotubes, so ride height is set at the lower mount and stroke is unchanged at any height. The factory AVS varies damping with the drive mode as before, with RS-R’s preset valving underneath.

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.
