So, with the 2013s rolling out, I think it's time to dress the car up even though our RX is still fairly new. It's a 2012. I'm going to get a body kit and a set of 22s. My question is, how do I lower the car? I tried to look for brand name aftermarket springs, coilovers, etc. for the car and found nothing. People who have bigger wheels please chime in. Also, can you guys suggest good vendors who sell Japanese products? To be more specific, I'm currently looking at Branew and Prussian Blue body kit. I have used L-tuned before. They are great! What are my other options?
Thanks guys

 

I can't answer any of your questions but I do look forward to seeing those pics once u get all the mods done. What rims are u going with?

 

Haven't really found what I like in terms of rims. I want something that is more "mature" looking. Not too sporty and not too flashy. Our RX is white so probably brushed center with high polish lip? We'll see...
No one on this board has aftermarket wheels?

 

I know of only two people that do.

 

I've actually seen a local black RX with black and crhome wheels in maybe 24? I wonder how he or she lowered the car. Well, I think at this point, my best bet is probably going to be asking a shop to cut the spring or soemthing....

 

Post pics once ur done.

 

after cutting the springs you can forget about a smooth ride, you'll bounce all over the road.

 

One option is to buy a lower vehicle. LOL
Actually what would lowering it be for? This is a Lexus not some vehicle that would look better if modifyed.

 

Vossen did it with the 4GS and apparently the ride is still good soo...

 

Did you do it yet?

 

I just ordered a set of lowering springs 1.7"F 1.7"R There going to be here in the next 4-6 weeks I'll post pictures as soon as I get them on.

 

Definitely wouldn't cut it. I would continue the search for some aftermarket springs... that's just my opinion.

 

Where did you get your springs and which brand???

 

I purchased a set from Luis over at Carson toyota 1.7" FR but there made to be cut if I wanted them lower i can cut them to go as low as 3"FR.

 

Interesting.
