Default 2010 RX lowered with Work Wheels

Hey guys,

I'm new to this forum. I wanted to share my RX with you guys. What do you think? It's a new project of mine. So far I have Work Wheels with a 3" Drop on Zoom Bane Springs. Very soon, I will be putting on a body kit that we're still developing. Sorry about the camera phone pic, all I have right now. LOL! Thanks for looking!

Thanks! The springs are awesome. You definitely get a sportier feel which is something I wanted anyways. Definitely not too extreme though, it's still really comfortable. I did the 2" spring first, but it wasn't low enough for me so I went with the 3" instead.

I am also interested in lowering my rx 350. Do you still have the 2" drop springs, and are they for sale?

1. Wheel and tire specs?

2. How quickly are you going to blow out the stock shocks like that?

3. Does anyone make aftermarket shocks?

I didn't replace the struts. I was told it's not needed for this set up. It rides really good and doesn't bottom out. Even with the 3" springs I put on. I'm assuming it's because the stroke on our cars are really long compared to cars.

Haha! I have a digital camera, just never got to taking pix of the RX. It was at a car wash so I just snapped a pic with my camera phone.

I'm on Zoom Bane Springs from Japan.

20x8.5 +20

Supposedly shouldn't have problem blowing my struts with this set up. So far so good.

I never looked into aftermarket shocks since Lexus said it wasn't needed for this set up.

Who in the USA is a dealer for those springs?
you can try carson toyota, a CL approved vendor here. they can import almost any jdm part you might want. just need to give to them a call to see if they can bring it in for you.
