Default New leased is200t f sport - where to get it lowered in south florida

I am picking up a new leased is200t f sport this weekend from Lexus dealership in south Florida. I am really thinking about getting it lowered with rsr downs. Should I have it done at the Lexus dealership? Or Somewhere else, recommendations please. Also what does it approx cost to do this.

Would you mind posting your numbers when you make the lease? I'm also in the market to lease one & am very curious. I've seen people come out with great deals in other states, but have yet to hear from anyone in the south Florida area specifically.

Trying to get a "deal" on a lease in South Florida is extremely difficult because of the market here. Everyone has a Lexus or BMW and the dealers know it so they are less-likely to budge here than they would in say, Georgia for instance.

That being said, to answer the OP's questions, you can have the stealership rape you and install the springs with them, or, you can take it to a reputable shop down here somewhere and let them do it for half the cost. I've always lowered all my cars on my own, so I have no idea what the cost is. I can tell you I had some choice words while lowering my GS350 though lol. I know one thing, I will never buy springs again. The last time I bought springs to lower my car was in 1996/97 and everything since has been coilovers. Waaaay less stress and waaay less time to install. BUT, if you're looking to keep that F-Sport tunability from the drivers seat, you are going to need springs or that other coilover company that makes their coilovers AVS compatible.

Good luck!

Any recommendations where I can get this done besides going to a dealership. May want to put a front lip on also.

Thanks for the recommendation regarding Elite Roads, I reached out to them. There are down in ft Lauderdale and was hoping to find a good shop closer to me. Anyone know of anything from Stuart - West Palm Beach that is good at lowering an IS F Sport and probably put some spacers on as well.

Contact VIPCE0 on IG and tell him Mike Mora (@mike.mora on IG) with the black & white IS200T sent you.

He recently did my custom front bumper splitter.
