I' m not going to hold my breath. I think Mr. Bose has been highly over-rated in the past, and he seems to believe he can defeat the laws of physics if his marketing campaigns are any indication. Turning the front of the Lexus into a cheap Mcpherson strut is a terrible idea, and no amount of suspension "springing" will eliminate the induced camber and steering changes that Mcpherson strut invokes.
The best thing I did with the Bose system in the my other car was rip it out and throw it away.

A Hollister store and a Cadillac or VW have one thing in common: they both use Bose sound systems. Good for bass, but that's it.
