Thinking about slightly lowering the RX. Have some questions though
Been thinking of lowering the RX by about 30-35mm using King Springs that I can buy from someone. I wouldn't mind the lowering and frankly air suspension is well out of the ball park at the moment. Anyway if I were to lower it by the 30-35mm (about 1.37 inches) would I need to do anything with the shocks, or would there be enough travel to just swap over the springs?
I would have to get an alignment after, but wonder what the feel would be like? It would have slightly less roll, but wondering how it will effect the dynamics of the car and also things like road noise etc. etc. Anyone have any thoughts or has done something similar to their RX? The car is on stock underpinnings at the moment and running standard 17" inch rims.

No changes necessary, no alignment either. Car is much more stable on turns at higher speeds. I am about 1.3 lowered. I am surprised you did not look at least to page 2 for some answers as it's a pretty recent topic that is pages long.
