what do u think is the perfect combo of suspension parts...I want my 99 rx300 awd to drive nice (like it does stock) but i want it to be a bit firmer i guess. i want improved handling and less body roll. what do u think is the best combo, the middle ground, etc., to keep the luxury ride of the lexus but have the improved handling it needs?

--thanks

 

Use KYB GR-2 struts, you can purchase them from either www.tmengineering.net or www.tirerack.com and any combination of sport springs. The GR-2 struts are an OEM replacement but you can purchase them for much less at those sites, and sport springs will help stiffen the cornering slightly without losing any ride quality from using OEM quality struts.

Eibach, H&R Tuning, Intrax, B+G suspension, TTE, Tein(FWD only 2.5" lowering) and others all make sport springs lowering from 1.2-1.6 inches.

 

oh yea i forgot to mention i want the absolute smallest drop possible, if any at all

i thought struts were for fwd vehicles only? can u use those on awd vehicles?

 

The smallest possible drop will probably be the TTE springs, although they are pretty difficult to find. The Eibach's provide a relatively light drop as well.

The front struts are universal between FWD and AWD, the rear struts are the only ones that depend on which type of RX300 you have. If you have FWD then just choose the FWD labeled ones to put in your shopping cart, and if AWD then choose AWD struts to purchase.
