RS-R 19-25 Toyota RAV4 Prime Down Sus Springs

Mild Drop, Improved Handling, Purpose-Built for the RAV4 Prime Chassis

The RS-R RSRT061D Down Sus lowering springs are engineered specifically for the 2019-2025 Toyota RAV4 Prime, accounting for the hybrid platform's additional battery weight and unique suspension tuning. Using RS-R's progressive spring winding technology and proprietary high-tensile steel, the RSRT061D delivers a controlled drop of approximately 35 to 40mm at the front and 30 to 35mm at the rear while keeping spring rates firm enough to improve cornering response without sacrificing daily-driver comfort. These springs are a direct drop-in replacement for the OE units, requiring no modification to the factory struts or shock absorbers.

Key Features

• Approximate drop: Front 35mm to 40mm (1.4 in. to 1.6 in.), Rear 30mm to 35mm (1.2 in. to 1.4 in.) for RAV4 Prime hybrid configuration
• Spring rates: Front 3.16 kg/mm, Rear 4.39 kg/mm, matched to the RAV4 Prime's weight distribution
• Progressive winding improves high-load cornering response without harshness at low-speed daily driving
• Designed to work with factory struts and shock absorbers, no additional modifications required
• RS-R proprietary high-tensile steel construction with corrosion-resistant coating
• 3-year, 36,000-mile warranty from date of purchase
• Sold as a set of 4 springs (front and rear)

About RS-R

RS-R is a Japanese suspension manufacturer with decades of development experience on the JDM and global aftermarket. Known for their precise spring engineering and extensive OEM-equivalent testing protocols, RS-R products are widely used across street, track, and time-attack applications throughout Japan, Australia, and North America. All RS-R springs sold in the US market are covered by RS-R USA's warranty program and are supported by North American distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions

The RSRT061D provides an approximate drop of 35mm to 40mm (1.4 in. to 1.6 in.) at the front and 30mm to 35mm (1.2 in. to 1.4 in.) at the rear on the RAV4 Prime hybrid platform. These measurements are averages and may vary slightly depending on vehicle load, condition of OE shock absorbers, and individual suspension component wear.

The RSRT061D is specifically calibrated for the RAV4 Prime plug-in hybrid, which carries additional weight from the high-voltage battery pack compared to the non-hybrid RAV4. The standard non-hybrid RAV4 uses a different RS-R part number (T078D). Using the Prime-specific T061D on a non-hybrid RAV4 may result in different drop heights and handling characteristics than specified.

No. The RS-R RSRT061D is designed to be a direct replacement for the OE springs, compatible with the factory strut and rear shock assemblies. RS-R engineers these springs to work within OE shock travel limits, meaning no shock upgrade is necessary for street use, though pairing with performance dampers will improve overall ride and handling.

The RAV4 Prime does not feature electronically controlled adaptive dampers in its standard configuration. The RSRT061D replaces the passive coil springs and does not interface with any electronic systems. Installation will not affect the RAV4 Prime's battery management, regenerative braking, or AWD systems.

RS-R Down Sus springs use a progressive spring rate design that remains compliant under light loads (normal driving, single occupant) and firms up under higher cornering forces. The result is a modest improvement in handling responsiveness and body roll reduction compared to factory springs, with acceptable ride comfort for daily driving. Ride quality will feel firmer than stock, which is expected at a 1.5 in. average drop.

Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, an aftermarket part cannot void your OEM warranty unless the manufacturer can prove the part directly caused the component that failed. Suspension modifications may affect warranty coverage on struts, ball joints, and related components. Consult your Toyota dealer for guidance specific to your vehicle and warranty status before installing.

Yes. Any change in vehicle ride height will shift camber and potentially caster settings away from factory specification. A professional four-wheel alignment is required after installing the RSRT061D to restore proper tire contact patch, prevent uneven tire wear, and maintain safe handling.

RS-R USA backs all Down Sus lowering springs with a 3-year or 36,000-mile limited warranty from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and applies to the original purchaser only. Warranty claims are handled through RS-R USA and require proof of purchase.

Installation Instructions

1. Lift and support the vehicle safely on jack stands, with all four wheels off the ground.
2. Remove all four wheels for clear access to the front strut assemblies and rear suspension.
3. Using an approved spring compressor, compress the front OE coil spring before removing the strut top mount.
4. Remove the OE front spring and replace with the RSRT061D front spring, ensuring the spring end seats correctly in both upper and lower perches.
5. Reassemble the front strut and reinstall into the vehicle. Torque all fasteners to factory specification.
6. Repeat on the opposite front side.
7. For rear installation, support the rear suspension at the control arm or axle and remove the OE coil spring.
8. Install the RSRT061D rear spring, ensuring correct seating on the lower spring perch and upper spring isolator.
9. Repeat on the opposite rear side.
10. Reinstall all wheels and torque lug nuts to specification.
11. Lower the vehicle and bounce all four corners to settle the springs.
12. Schedule a professional four-wheel alignment before regular driving.
