Default Rx400h - suspension lowered - need help

Hello,

I recently bought a great rx400h. Black with nice 20" wheels.

However, I discovered that the previous oener has lowered the suspesion on the car. This means that the car does not behave the way it should.

Do you have any idea on how to get it restored?
Which springbars was originally fitted?
Is it possiple to get a lift kit?

Where do I biy this online?

Tanks!!

id say your best bet is to replace the lowering springs with oem springs. sounds very much as if you dont like the ride quality with the current springs. rockauto.com should have the stock springs

Thanks for the reply! I'll guess the oem springs will fit the car better.

This should get you started:

http://lexus.sewellparts.com/oem-cat...400h-2008.html

Without knowing if you are FWD or AWD, you will possibly need to look around the Sewell site to find the right year, make and model.

This car should be taken to the dealer. Find out exactly what was modified.
