Good news, I spoke with a 4RX owner who lives in Taoyuan District, Taoyuan in Taiwan and it's confirmed he's running RS*R ti-2000 coil overs on his 4RX. Pics to prove it:

Default Lowering Your 2016+ RX 350

Hello, its my first thread and possibly my first Lexus. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on a '17 White on red RX 350 F-Sport, I love the look of the car and how it drives just wondering if it was possible to lower the stance with some lowering springs. Has anyone done this? Even an 1.5" lower will look so much better and more aggressive in my opinion...

RSR is supposed to be coming out with springs, Tanabe may have coils available over seas and some vendors here have RSR Sport Coils available. Also one member changed their bag set up from their 2010 RX and bagged their new 4th Gen

Hey guys, it looks like RS*R finally has the DOWN SUS springs in stock now:

http://www.rs-r.com/product/lexus-rx...-springs-2016/

"The Down Sus provides a lowered stance and improved handling to fulfill your needs to lower your car and improve its handling. Taking into consideration the factory suspension geometry, shock dampening, spring rate and ride height levels, RS-R ensures that the springs you are getting were made for your car both for performance and for comfort."

I kind of wish they had the SUPER DOWN springs to close up that gap completely.

I ordered lateral dampers from Nigel for my 16 RX. I hate how it rocks side to side so much. Hoping these will help and also reduce some of the floaty feeling I'll let everyone know how they are when I receive them..

Darith,
can you find out from the fellow that installed the RS*R coilovers how he likes the suspension now. I believe he is in Taiwan

Sweet I'd love to see if that damper helps with the rocking...it's still hurting my back and my wife complains about the rocking on the semi-sharp turns. I'll ask him about the coil overs for you and see what he says.
