I recently traded my 2014 Subaru BRZ for a 2012 Lexus CT200h F-sport. I've only had the car for about a week but am loving every minute of it. A friend of mine has the same car however when parked next to each other my car is significant lower. In the front she can stick 4 fingers within the gap of the wheel to fender however I can only stick 2 1/2 in. Since mine is pre-owned I thought maybe the springs were changed out however I have the blue springs with the F Sport logo. Does anyone know why my car is lower than hers? I have the 5 spoke inch wheels and she has the wheels that look like the base CT but a dark grey color. Any help is appreciated.

Welcome and it could be you are lucky enough to have a car with the actual F-Sport Special Edition suspension. These springs lower the car about an inch or more.

You may also have the blue sway bars, look for the big blue bars front and rear the go from side to side. The lack of trident wheels probably means you have only the upgraded suspension, courtesy of the prior owner. Do you have the dark blue seats and Nav? If so, then you have one of the F-Sport Special Editions made in 2012, but without the wheels.

I have one. If not, then the prior owner upgraded the suspension. The blue F-Sport springs and sway bars were only available on the Special Edition, or ordered from Lexus. If the dealer installed them you had full factory warranty on them.

Finally, do a little searching next time. This has been covered a few times before.

Thanks Clutchless, after I had post I found the answer but didn't know how to delete the post. I'll do better next time to look for my answer

Hey OP, just curious why you switched cars?

I'm also curious as well why you switched from the BRZ to the CT 200h?

Congratulations on getting a CTh. It's a great car for what it is. You'll enjoy the high mpg's. Happy driving...
