1) There was another recent post regarding this where someone lowered their height by just using Techstream and adjusting the suspension settings. Agreed, it gives less flexibility than your approach, but it's probably a lot cheaper. Your thoughts?
I used Toyota techstream software on my laptop and the "set reference height" utility to drop my 2007 LS 460L about 1.5", I can use the height high button on the console to bring it back to what used to be stock height. disengaging the height high button then drops it back down.
3) Have you had any issues with the tires rubbing on the fenders when driving around at this lowered height?

Looks great, Dr. J! I am really keen to do this as I feel the standard gap is too large. I have a few Qs.
1) There was another recent post regarding this where someone lowered their height by just using Techstream and adjusting the suspension settings. Agreed, it gives less flexibility than your approach, but it's probably a lot cheaper. Your thoughts?
2) Does the Datasystems mod void the warranty? I am guessing that if the Techstream adjustment can be done by a Lexus dealer, it should be OK.

2) I doubt it voids the warranty as it is an override and can be reversed to 0 aka stock height if you brought it in for service. You can also remove it easily should you be in need of any major repairs. From what I understand the dealer won't do this. You'd have to find an independent shop to do it.
3) I've driven it around at level "5" for a couple of days with no issues running and that includes a few inclines and declines where I actually thought I'd rub for sure.
