LOWER?? If I had my way, I'd raise my RX up a bit.

Why would you want to lower it?

Because it needs it. That long front snout makes it look like a car on stilts.

The RX has a similar adaptive suspension (if yours has it?) as the GS does and I know RSR makes lowering springs for it and they're awesome. I'd check there or even email them about it. They have always been quick to get back to me when I have had questions.

Someone here installed an air suspension to lower their RX.

I'm not really sure what you're talking about. I'm referring to my GS F Sport. The RX F Sport has adaptive dampers with a similar suspension as well. It's an option on regular GS' and I'm assuming the same for the RX.
