TTE springs installed Was pretty straight forward doing the install, but i've got a checklight on the ABS sensors (suspect I bumped an abs sensor cable), when I get the RX hooked up to my laptop I can run a diagnostic on what's going on.

Looks great, just enough drop. Those new wheels will complete that mod! How does it ride?

Ride is fantastic, perfect balance between ride quality and stiffness. They should've put these out as factory to be honest. Prior to these springs going in, i used to take it easy on a particular sweeping corner on my way to work, now i look forward to it

It'd be even better with fatter tread and thicker sway bars i'd imagine.

Looking good, Howie. Definitely take some pictures when you get the 19" rims on. I noticed a difference with that rim size on the 450h. I'd definitely recommend them over the 18" on the 3rd gen RX. Enjoy the ride

Cheers guys. Need to sort out a few more things before I get some rubber for the new rims. Want to remove the crossbars of the roof racks, and sort out my ABS sensor issues first.

I remember the code for the AWD and FWD version being the same, but you'd better check that with sewellparts or something.
