There are plenty of systems. Even Coil-overs with Bags. Those are particularly more expensive but much better.

My priorities have been on getting my new wheels mounted. Been having a long journey with that. However I hope to have them on Wednesday! You can be sure I will have photos if the wheels fit.

Are you still pleased with the H&Rs? I'm leaning toward them and I like the drop on your car. If you had it to do over would you still do it?

Here is the new wheels with the drop. If you wait till Late Jan. I might be selling the springs if I get the air suspension on.

Work LS105's custom Step lip. 21x9+26 21x10+39 (SUV wheels, discontinued "Call Work USA") Used/mint negotiated $1,750? New about $4,800
Handcocks 245/35-21 Fronts 285/30-21 Rears About $800
Also needed about 12mm spacer for the rear to clear the shock, and did a 5mm in the front. But the front pokes a bit too much so it's going out some time when I get off my ***.

I would actually love to get airbag coilovers instead of just plain airbag suspension.
I saw this the other day

Woah. You went staggered? You dont have awd then right? They look good but Im gonna go for 20's probably a mesh type rim. BTW I can use car rims on this vehicle right? Or do I have to get TRUCK rims? Id hate to go that route as most of the truck rims I see are rather over the top garish looking.
But don't just take my word for it
. DO a few months of searching and math. Talking to a physicist that has an AWD Lexus with staggered wheels. Also go on the BMW forums research the Stock widths on the GT-R is staggered, Look at all these EVO and Skyline time attacks running staggered wheels and/or staggered width tires. Width and offset doesn't affect ratio.. running height of wheel and tire do.Sooooooo far I have no sensors going crazy or any lights at all. In fact my ride is really nice and smooth. Better than with the stock wheels. However if I do I will let everyone know

Yes AWD, yes staggered. I don't even want to get into another discussion about it lol! I will just say a couple of things and leave it alone. It's OK to use Staggered wheels with an AWD car!!!!!!! Yes that's right. Do enough homework and bypassing of rumors (yes even from professionals, dealerships and so on) you will find that it's as simple as this: Make sure your wheels/tires have the same circumference up to .02 % no more. If not done right well than your kind of risking some damage over time or right away depending on the system.

I think Ill see if he'll bounce them back my way tommorow and see if they fit. BTW I noticed you have 35 front and 30 rear. Any reason why they have different heights? Why not 35 or 30 all around? My 20" were 255/30/20 and 285/30/20. Would this pose a problem for me if I try them out tommorow? Not sure how Seneka's will look on an RX. If the ride is good Imma rock em for awhile.
