Eibach makes a kit for 2008 RX400h. It seems like its not impossible http://automotive.become.com/2008-le...s--sc812575352

2008 RX is 2nd gen RX, not 3rd gen; there is currently nothing available yet.

I know . What I am trying to say is that there is hope. If they made them for the 2nd gen they will for the third...most likely

Any news of lowering springs for the 3rd gen rx? I would think there has to be some by now, but I still can't find anything.

RS-R indeed has an application for the RX350 and RX450h. not sure if it is spring or coilover application.

RS-R catalog in pdf format (as of june 30/10): http://www.rs-r.co.jp/download/catalog/sus.pdf
RS-R website: http://www.rs-r.co.jp/

note that the RX350 is for AWD, but RX450h is 4WD - can someone confirm this? i was under the impression the RX450h was AWD?

Zoom has the application for the awd.

Oh, ok the 4wd vs awd thing... I think it is typo or they just treat both the same since there is no 2010 4wd RX350/450h in Japan, either.

Tein also makes one for the RX, maybe not officially released in the US market yet.

For the ballers who want their RX on air bags, Boldworld just released one for the 2010 RX not long ago.
In fact, they use the Fortissimo RX as their demo car.
