Lexus RC Coilovers

When you shop for Lexus RC coilovers, the first thing to know is whether your car has the V8. BC, KW, TEIN and Ksport all make separate kits for the RC F and for the RC 200t, RC 300h and RC 350. We list eleven kits below, RC F first.

Not sure if yours is an F, F Sport or base car, and whether it is rear or all-wheel drive? Call 1-800-460-9106.

Animated illustration. It shows where coilovers sit on a car, not your exact kit. Depending on the car and the kit, coilovers can lean forward or back or stand straight up, and some cars use a separate spring and shock in the rear. Your ride height depends on the kit and how it is set up.

Before you buy: what RC owners run into

Here is what RC owners run into most, from owner forums, recalls and service bulletins, and what it means for your coilovers.

Rear inner tire wear once lowered

RC F and RC 350, 2015 to 2022

On ClubLexus, an RC F owner on lowered coilovers says negative rear camber wore the inside of his tires in under six months, with no factory rear adjustment. Another RC owner says his rear tires wear much better at about -1.5 degrees. Lowering adds negative rear camber, and the factory rear setup may not correct it.

Before you install: Check rear camber at your chosen height on the alignment rack, and plan for rear camber arms if it is past spec.

Front liner rub with low height, wide wheels

RC F, 2015 to 2022

RC F owners on ClubLexus report the tire hitting a fender liner tab when lowered on low offset or wide wheels, sometimes only under hard braking. One owner's liners tore loose on 20 by 10 inch wheels with 275 tires. Ride height, damping and bump stops all change how far the tire reaches the liner.

Before you install: Check liner clearance at full compression with your wheel and tire size, and keep the bump stops in place before setting final height.

RC history

The RC F was revealed in Detroit in January 2014

Lexus' release of January 14, 2014 says that "Lexus revealed its most powerful V8 engine in the all-new 2015 RC F performance coupe".

2014

The engine"The RC F has an all-new 5.0-liter 32-valve V8 engine"
2014

The chassis"RC F has front and rear coil-spring independent suspension"

RC F, AWD, adaptive dampers and springs

Is the RC F kit different from the RC 350 kit?

Yes. Every brand here makes a separate RC F kit, and BC's RC F kit adds ER and ZX to BR and DS.

My RC 350 is AWD. Is there a kit?

BC and Ksport kit names say RWD for the RC 350. KW's RC 200t and RC 350 kit name lists no drive layout, so call us with the VIN before ordering.

Does electronic suspension change the kit?

KW's RC 200t and RC 350 kit is named "with or without electronic suspension". The other kit names do not mention it, so ask before you order.

Is the Swift RC F product a full kit?

No. Swift's RC F product is a Sport Spec-R spring set; we show it next to the coilovers for comparison.

Does the RC 350 kit come in ZX?

No. BC sells its RC 200t and RC 250/350 kits in BR or DS; ER and ZX come on the RC F kit only.

Are there Lexus RC coilovers for a 2023 or later car?

The newest kits here run to 2022 (BC and KW). For a newer RC, call us with the VIN.
