Ground Clearance with Lexus Lowering Springs
What is the ground clearance on a 2011 CT200h with the Lexus lowering springs? I am really thinking about getting the lowering springs with the sway bar but I am concerned about speed bumps and driveways. Thank you

I'm going to be putting the F-Sport Springs on my car this upcoming month. I will be posting pictures so once I have it done I can let you know and send you the pictures.

It is a 1" drop. I will be installing the F-Sport Springs on my car on Monday. So I'll post pictures so you can see the difference.

F-Sport sway bars worth the cost?
I'm just looking for any feedback on whether adding the F-Sport sway bars to the F-Sport package is worth the cost. I've read things about them not really having much affect due to the inability to shut off the stability and traction control features. Any thoughts on that? I'm not a high-speed driver by any means, but in the absence of much horsepower, it's nice to feel like you can corner around anything.
Also, I wasn't planning on getting the springs, just the sway bars. Is one okay without the other? Is it dumb not to buy them in combination? Will the ride suffer for it?
Thanks much for any information.

I drove both models with and without - I can say without a doubt the springs and sways make a big difference. Also when you run in sport mode this improves handling. Not sure how they do it . Stability and traction control are not a hindrance whatsoever because the car simply doesn't have the power.
I cannot tell you if its worth it or not though, that is dependant on your wallet. I own a SE.
No issues with clearance either none. I never take chances with any lowered car but this car isn't long enough to get hung up in most instances.
