Some mods done to the RX330
I installed some Eibach springs and 20x8.5 +20 offset rims on the RX330. Tires are 255/50/20. They just fit in the rear and there is no rubbing even with the mild Eibach drop. You can see how much room I had to spare in the rear in the pics below. I also started installing the A/V gear. The headunit is an Alpine IVA-D300 with an Apline PXA-H700 below it. This is mounted in the Toyota Harrier OEM optional trim panel. I still need to locte or fabricte a trim face to go around the D300 and PXA. The D300 is a trouch screen in dash LCD monitor with DVD. It also accepts a reverse camera. The PXA-H700 is a Dolby Digial/DTS/Time alignment/Parametric or Graphic EQ. It can accept the fiber optic audio signal from the D300, PS2, and Alpine CHA-S624 CD changer. In each headrest is an Alpine TME-M770 touch screen monitor. Video also goes through an Alpine VPE-S431 explansion unit/switcher. This unit adds 3 extra A/V inputs and give me the ability to route any video source to any monitor independently. That means each passanger can view their own source and the rear monitors have built in speakers or the ability to use headphones. I also have a Sony PS2 and a separate Pyle DVD player. That makes 3 DVD sources. I'll probably dump the Pyle DVD player and add the Alpine TV tuner instead though. That is all I was able to get done so far.
Here is a pic with the Lexus logo center cap.

Very nice
I've always thought a wider stance RX will look nice. The stock wheels make the car look top-heavy from some angles. Do you have pics of the car facing directly at the back and the front?
nice!

I was thinking about getting a set myself but was afraid the ride would be too stiff.

By the way, my car suffered damage on the passanger side rear door and 1/4 pannel so that is why I have no pics from that angle. That said, it goes into the shop on Friday to get fixed. While there I'm having the hatch spoiler color matched as well as all the black unpainted lower trim on the front and rear bumper. That will be my suedo body kit until I get one later this year. Here is a photo shop picture my friend did for me of what my car shouod look like after it is done. The drop might not be that low especially for everday driving, but surely I will slam it as low as I can for the car shows
PS. I also just removed my roof racks today. The car looks better IMHO. I never wanted the roof racks to begin with, but I would have had to special order one without it so I just settled.

Hey CK6Speed,
Did you special order plastic plug pieces to cover the holes where the roof racks were? I looked under mine after removing the bolts and got a rectangle opening. Thanks for any reply. Your car looks pretty mean slammed. Can't wait myself for some coilovers.

No, what you see is what you get. I removed the Lexus and RX330 emblems about 3 days after I took delivery. Since it was so early on it was a piece of cake and left no marks.
