What is the ground clearance on a 2011 CT200h with the Lexus lowering springs? I am really thinking about getting the lowering springs with the sway bar but I am concerned about speed bumps and driveways. Thank you

I haven't heard of any problems with clearance but I don't know the exact height. I've driven some without and some with the lower springs and neither one had any issues. The lowering springs look great and the ride feels more sporty

I'm going to be putting the F-Sport Springs on my car this upcoming month. I will be posting pictures so once I have it done I can let you know and send you the pictures.

I have an SE and I have not had any clearance issues yet and have gone over some pretty large speed bumps at Costco without a problem. I am pretty careful to slowly go at a diagonal over large speed bumps and driveways with steep connections.

As everyone said, I doubt Lexus would make any type of modification that would hinder normal driving circumstances, but ive hard that the fsport springs give a 1" drop.

I read somewhere that the clearance for the F Sport Special Edition was 5.1"

It is a 1" drop. I will be installing the F-Sport Springs on my car on Monday. So I'll post pictures so you can see the difference.

Any other springs offer a lower drop?

Can you post a before and after? I am still undecided on the drop, the wife drives the CT and can't have it too low.

Road Magnet Springs, I can clear a Pepsi can. I haven't scraped on a speed bump to date.

Every time I see a CT that has the caramel interior, I get pissed for getting a black interior. :-(

I have had my F-Sport Spings on for a week now and I haven't had any clearence issues. I also had my DJ Equipment in the back and still no issues with clearence or rubbing I'm so happy with my purchase. I'll post pictures soon.

No issues haven't scraped anything......

I'm just looking for any feedback on whether adding the F-Sport sway bars to the F-Sport package is worth the cost. I've read things about them not really having much affect due to the inability to shut off the stability and traction control features. Any thoughts on that? I'm not a high-speed driver by any means, but in the absence of much horsepower, it's nice to feel like you can corner around anything.

Also, I wasn't planning on getting the springs, just the sway bars. Is one okay without the other? Is it dumb not to buy them in combination? Will the ride suffer for it?

Thanks much for any information.

I drove both models with and without - I can say without a doubt the springs and sways make a big difference. Also when you run in sport mode this improves handling. Not sure how they do it . Stability and traction control are not a hindrance whatsoever because the car simply doesn't have the power.

I cannot tell you if its worth it or not though, that is dependant on your wallet. I own a SE.

No issues with clearance either none. I never take chances with any lowered car but this car isn't long enough to get hung up in most instances.
