Default RX with air suspension in LOW mode (pics as requested)

Those who were wondering what the RX looks like with the air suspension in its lowest mode asked me to take pictures a very long time ago, like 2 weeks ago. lol. I just got to it now. hope this helps with your lowering decisions. I just washed her. lol

That is not the right date, right? But it looks good on the low setting.

That ride height/wheel gap space looks really sharp. Should look like that stock!

Whoah!!! I'd never have thought that it'd be that low. How's the ride quality with the low setting?

it feels perfectly the same to me on all modes. haha

im not that much of a tester though, i have noticed after experimenting, that on low, there is less body roll and the tires dont squeal as much under the same stress. (ive done tests in a parking garage, when going around those circular turns.

I have this air suspension,I think the ride is very smooth on the low mode.Once i got from home and drove for a short distance and the feel I had from the car was like flat tire or some noisy racky feel on small bumps, I went down checked the tires everything looked nice,then realized that the car was on the high mode put back to low mode and smooth ride was back.

Default on low settings

From what I could tell, the total overall change in ride height is between 1.5 to 2.5 inches from all the way up to all the way down. I don't know if you notice that much of a ride height difference from mid point to the low point. I always did wonder if I was sitting at a red light and someone was sitting behind me and I hit the low button, would someone actually notice the vehicle lowering the little amount that it does.

I don't have height control in my RX but I have played around with my mom's LX which has it. Sitting in the car, you can notice the car rising and lowering a bit.
