Looks good.
- how is the ride quality?
- does installing only the front springs affect your warranty?
- is $313 the all-in cost?
-will it need an alignment?
thx.
Ride Quality Exactly same. So far feels great
One of the additional reasons for going OEM and getting it installed in Lexus dealership it's that Indeed warranty stays fully intact.
313 was just cost of lowering spring set of 4. Installation for only front ones was an additional 370. However I was given a loaner car to make it to work so I felt price was fair. Lost shops around town charge 200 to install them but I rather pay more and have warranty intact.
No alignment was needed. However since I installed with Lexus and warranty its intact. Lexus offers a free alignment and balancing within the first 12 months of ownership. So on the 5k check will request the free alignment.

Thanks for the info. Re the warranty, I figured all 4 springs wouldn't affect the warranty - I just wasn't sure if only installing 2 of the springs might have a different effect. Like maybe all 4 must be done at the same time or whatever.
And are the 2 springs leftover the same as the front ones? Or do they differentiate between front and rear? I feel like maybe they do...

This is very useful information. Thanks for this. Any chance of a picture on the sunny side of the car so we can see the wheel gaps front to rear? It looks perfectly level, like the Tanabe +.5 inch.
Man I'd like to do the same, I'd be concerned that the spring rates being stiffer in the front and not the rear would upset the balance of the car. Although I try to avoid driving in the snow, NJ winters are not so forgiving most years.
I may have a set for sale soon only been on the car for a month. Still sits a little to high for my taste. I'm gonna go with a rsr's. Here is them installed with 20X9 wheels on.
I am so confused as I would love to go with lowering springs but I have read so many concerning posts saying that it will prematurely wear my tires or other components, to vibrations with AWD that I feel too nervous to risk it...I love the RC's look so much, especially the MMC, but I can't overlook that gap!

I have the OEM lowering springs, staggered 20s and had an alignment and have no rubbing or vibration issues on my AWD.
Thanks for sharing, I am curious why these apparently are not available in Canada.....You would think that Lexus dealers would be allowed to carry/sell/install these.
...and for those of you who have lowered their car, it didn't affect your adaptive suspension in that your Sport and Sport+ still works right? I may have to go the RSR route after all….
