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
My St Louis Lexus SA said they would not be able to use Techstream to lower default ride height "for liability concerns"

I guess this is one "mod" I won't be doing

Oh yeah that was a given though. You have to find an independent shop with a Techstream to do it for you.

My advice is spring for the Datasystem controller. I've been riding dropped 1.5" for the last 3 weeks and can't tell a difference in ride quality. I did bump and scrape the bottom a few places but that's it. I really thought the ride quality would suffer a little but to my surprise it's exactly the same. I'm glad my homie bustarice hooked it up but had he not I would've dropped the $1k and not thought twice about it.

One of the rare times I have both of my cars at home, since it's the holiday weekend, very fun.

Going to be working out of state for a few months. I just had to bring the beast for the summer and fall enjoyment.

Those are the Audison mid-bass drivers.






The tweeters and mid-ranges are in a custom pod on the dash/pillar.
