Default Got my teins



sorry their not the best pics, but didnt really have time to go take better ones. its on s-techs with the stock shocks. overall the drop is pretty noticable. as far as the ride goes, its a little bouncier than the stock setup but not that bad. doesnt matter though, i will be getting airrunners and fabulous kit shortly. I will keep you guys posted

That is hot! What is the drop (in inches) given on the product box or description? Usually it takes a week or a few for the springs to fully set in so you'll probably notice it settle some more. Just looking at both your RX's (LiqrSicc) makes me want to drop too!

haha thanks. um i think the drop is about 2.5 inches all around. I'm not quite sure. the drop is really really noticiable to me, but not to other people i guess. i actually took the pics about 2 weeks after i put them in so I think its settled all the way. Not as low as I hoped it would go. I was going to put in a order for airrunners but judging by the pictures, I dont think I'll be able to tuck, so I think I might pass. I am working with another company for air suspension though, so I'll keep you guys updated

I like how you removed the Lexus and the RX300 on the back. The rear L takes a little more doing as there are two holes there, but thank you for the picture as I always wondered what that might look like on white.

at first i debadged only the lexus and the rx300 and proceeded to the L. only after i took it off i noticed that there were holes. haha so i tried to stick it back on, and its been holding pretty good ever since. I may eventually fill in the holes as well as shave the rear wiper once i get my kit...

I once thought about the rear wiper, but after using a Caravan for work (back to driving my RX) and not having the rear wiper work during the rainy season here (and needing it), will keep it.

You are right, it does seem a little strange with the rear wiper. It would be one big whole to fill...if I get around to it may ask my uncle how he would manage it...though I think he might say too fill it in with a plastic cap and then pour filler over it...thne paint.

Sorry dude, been busy this weekend. It's about a 2 inch gap in the back and maybe a 2.5 gap in the front. But then again I'm runnning tires that are a little small. 245/35/20. So the overall diameter is about 1.5 inches smaller. When I get my 245/45/20s the gap should look a little better. Just installed my angel eyes too. Heere ya go:
