Default Lowering a LS500... how?

Friends,

This picture is courtesy of ANRKY, not my pic but using it as a reference for easier understanding.

Am not sure if this is lowered but the stance is great.

If lowered, what products can I use to achieve pretty much the same stance as shown below?

Appreciate your response. Thanks

Default I have what you need.

Do you have airbags? I have a airbag controller device for sale that will do what you want. I am about to sell the car and recently removed it.

I used Lexon lowering links. You can manually adjust the amount of drop you want. They make
up to a 2” drop which is what I used. Or they make a pro series for up to a 3” drop. You must have air suspension to use these.

if I had an LS, I'd try and find out how i can "higher" it. I'd want my LS to float supremely and high and mightily for comfort and presence and most of all, class! Plus i would not risk scraping the expensive body work.

We use Lexon lowering links for vehicles with factory air suspension.

Feel free to reach out with any questions.

I lowered my car with Links but have also purchased the R SPEC controller in hopes of have more adjustability. Does anyone have any experience installing and setting these up? I plugged it in but navigating the settings with an all Japanese manual is a bit challenging, even with google translate. Please let me know if there are any instructional videos etc, thanks

Is there a way to lower a version without the air suspension? I have an '18 F-Sport without air suspension.

Too much stuff to run over in my neck of the woods, roadkill, rocks, limbs. I’m a fanatic about keeping underside of my Lexus pristine.
