Good Michigan Modifiers?
Hi All,
Does anyone know of any good modification shops in SE Michigan? I'm looking to lower the vehicle and beef up the anti-sway bar of a non-sport 330.
Thanks,
Mark

Mark,
I'm going to move your post to the regional forums where you'll have a wider variety of folks to help you out. A GS, SC or IS owner may have more contacts with shops such as you're looking for.

I believe that the car has slightly too much jiggle in 2 forms. I think the RX could corner much better if it was lowered as well as beefing up the sway bar. This would also assist in quick lane change maneuverability and overall sense of control. It would also lessen the amount of rocking and the effect of the "nose dive" feeling this car has under braking situations. My list of major fixes to the car would be:
1-lowering 1" -2"
2-beefier sway bar
3-new transmission/engine software
My car has the latest software for #4 but overall I would still rate it a 7 out of 10. I would characterize a BMW software as the industry standard. The lexus software or componets always takes a 1/2 second to figure out what to do.

I'm about an hour north of Toledo. Madison Heights is not far either. I actually bought my previous car from a dealer in Toledo. I would have bought from them again if they were a Lexus dealer.
