Well i wanna get my windows tints black...Can I do that for a RX300?
I got some dubs for my car and i want to drop it...How many inches do I have to drop it so it would be one finger from the fender and the tire? Does anyone know if I can make my RX sound deeper? And Can i replace the screen for a TV?

 

Not sure on what it would take for a finger length, but here are some spring options.

About the lowest drop you can get (but tough to get these) are the kg/mm springs that will lower it about 2.2 inches. However, I don't have a supplier for these and they are straight from Japan.

On the U.S. side, http://www.b-gsuspension.com/springs.php has springs that will lower 1.6 and these are about the lowest that I have seen that are easy to get. Intrax (probably the ones I would choose) http://www.intraxsuspension.com/ has ones with 1.5 inch drop, while http://www.tte.de/popup/cm_lexus_RX3...ingsprings.htm TTE/Eibach (www.eibach.com or see www.tirerack.com), then you are taking 1.2 inch drop. http://www.hrsprings.com/ H&R has a 1.3 inch front/1.2 inch back drop.

Just the other day, I was noticing this from the U.K. with regard to the TV/center console, but as I understood it you had to have the navigation system (originally only on 2001-2003 RX300s).

However, there are members on this forum who are light years ahead of me in knowledge about this aspect.

 

You can get Tein S-Techs for your RX that will drop it nearly 3 inches. They arent hard to find and relatively inexpensive. Add 245/45/20 tires to your dubs and you will have 1 fingerspace in the back and just a little under 2 in the front. All your questions have been answered at one point or another. Just take the time to search the forums

 

That's true if he's got FWD, otherwise S-Techs won't do.

2.5 inch front/2.4 inch rear, http://www.tein.com/ti/l72.html

 

true, true. I think Tien made the SS Damper coilovers for the AWD, correct me if I'm wrong. Max drop is only about 1/2 inch more than the S-Techs but then again you also get the adjustability of the springs and the shocks... at the cost of $1200

 

I thought that maybe the U.S. was getting hosed with the coilovers too, just getting FWD, but maybe I am getting too confused with what I saw in my HyperRev magazine. Too bad we can't teleport to Japan (and the exchange rate were better) as they had a gazillion different types of springs and coilovers that stretched over several pages for both the FWD/AWD Toyota Harrier.

 

If appearance is more important, you can consider increasing the diameter of the tire/wheel slightly. Fender gap will be smaller, ride will be less harsh, and odo will be slower. Drawback is both brake performance and whp will decrease due to longer moment arm.

 

I'll tell you from 1st hand experience that you do lose major HP and MPG. My RX feels like a 4-banger right now and I only get about 17 city/hwy mix instead of the 22 I used to get. The 245/45/20 setup will get you to within to .2 inches of original stock diameter so your odo will be off maybe 1mph when your going 60

 

Yea with 20" your gas mileage sucks. Really bad ...I can say at times it feel like 4 banger ... When I had my intake in it was eatin a lot more gas ... I'm ridin 245/40/20.... I need new tire soon I'm try the 245/45/20...

 

Performance hit and loss of mpg can be mitigated by selecting forged alloy rims. Wide rims with huge lips look good but also they add additional mass at near the edge. More importantly, anyone even think about the weight of the tire? Shaving mass off tires is huge as they are mounted at the end of the moment arm.
