Here's some "TRD" parts:

Maybe a tuning shop can help with your engine upgrades.

Would be great if they had a supercharger, upgraded springs and stabilizer bars. I think that'll be the next look into project.

Default TRD Bracing - 2022 RX350 F Sport Handling

Has anybody installed the TRD bracing on their 4G Lexus RX350? My wife has a 2022 RX350 F Sport Handling.

Are these worth the cost?

I installed RS-R lowering springs on my 2016 rx awd non f sport, and it dramatically improved the handling. it's no longer terrifying to drive over 65 on the highway. it's no Porsche macan, but much much more stable. the wheel gap before lowering was absurd, almost comical, and now it looks like a normal crossover.

a significant con is that the ride is amazingly harsh now, which makes sense. driving over broken pavement makes the entire car shake and rattle. makes me kinda wish I spent more money and went the coilover route

I routinely drive well over 65 mph and in no way do I find it to be terrifying. In fact I would call it rock-solid on the freeway.

1.9 million RXs have been sold since 2005. So far we have a report of one terrified driver at speeds over 65 mph....
