Not OEM, I went with KYB and H&R Springs and it handles like a dream, almost like my BMW now.

I had all the work done at Exact Motorsports in Milpitas, John and Sandy ordered all the parts. Great and speedy work and they know what they're doing. In a few short hours I was enjoying my new ride.

Trinh76 the rise is solid and a little bouncy but corners well. You know that school? I was at a function and decided to snp a shot.

Rainbird, yes TC Edition.

Yup wifey use to sub and have friends who are still teaching there.

Guess I won't be lowering unless TEIN has a set which I have not seen. I had TEIN coilovers in the past and they were smooth. Not sure if I want to give up the nice, cushy ride on the RX..
