Swift lowering springs are now available for the LS500 without air suspension. Drops the car by around 1.2 inches.

How much more stress is put on the air suspension when lowered?

We have Swift springs for the Ls500 now for non air suspension vehicles. Vehicles with air suspension we use Lexon lowering links.

I was told Swift Springs had a prototype for the springs and that the springs being advertised is for the IS500/IS-F. Can you confirm that there are actual springs for this car?

Nice. That tuck in the rear is sick.

If you have airbags, what you need is in the Club Lexus Market place. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/market/1022257
