I had my 2004 rx330 since 2008 and just purchased a larger suv for my family...I just couldn’t sell it because of sentimental value and decided to do this to it

Interesting look, cool to see it on coils. A little to low for my taste but definitely unique, what sized wheels? 20's?

I'm new to the world of smooth riding, how much worse is changing from 18" does 20" wheels on the ride quality? Negligible?

I like this look, what coil-overs are you running?... Looks like CX racing.... but correct me if I'm wrong...

Looks good, bit low for my tastes, but hey. That being said, who ever rolled your fenders, I suggest you get your money back from them

i had a local shop fabricate 2 inch strut spacers to fit the 32 inch Atturo trailblade x/t, magnaflow catback, K&N, Moog sway bar links, masterpro heavy duty cv axles and I have a lot more planned but that’s where I’m sitting now

good stuff. I'm running a slightly larger than stock tire (29") on aftermarket wheels, but am thinking about lifting it a bit. I have read that 08-13 highlander rear struts will give 1-2" of lift in the back, but haven't figured out if they will work with lexus springs or not, and haven't come up with a front suspension lift yet other than spacers or springs. Would rather run stock springs for ride and run a taller strut by about 1". That being said, I would love to have the option to raise or lower it when I feel, so I am considering coilover or air suspension, but don't want it to ride like a go kart or leak air, so I really don't know what I want to do. Here is how mine sits:

i was looking at Bc racing coilovers for their adjustable damping and ride height. Plus they are about half the size as the stock struts which means pulling those wheels back in just a bit and giving me more room however they aren’t exactly at OEM ride height but I get plenty of travel for overlanding which is I built it up
