Default Lowering Options for Base / Non-Hybrid?

Just picked up a 2024 RX350 Base for my wife and wanting to lower it a little. Spoke with RSR but they do not have anything available. Google brings up nothing, is the platform just too new?

There are definitely options for lowering,

One might want to browse the Marketplace

Awesome, so care to share what those options are? Because the marketplace has none for the base RX, have already searched prior to joining the forum.

Maybe this will be helpful to you 5RX RS-R Spring Specs

All of the springs will fit on any of the 5RX models. Some springs rates and drop heights vary a bit depending on the part #. What I dont know, in the case of the Ti2000 Half Down Springs, on the chart shows the same spring rate for the F-Sport and the Version L. It states a +5mm drop on the fronts (same spring rate), with rears being the same. Is that because the spring is actually shorter or does the AVS on the F-Sport sit 5mm lower naturally due to shock length? I would figure its the shock length, as with the 5RX line there isn't a HUGE market to be producing different spring lengths for minimal audience.

I had a set of regular RS-R Down Springs on my Subaru and will say that the Ti2000 springs feel much better. The road feedback is much smoother and has a less choppy ride. And, I was shocked at how light they were.

When I spoke to RSR they said they have no options available for the non-hybrid model - is that just them covering their behinds? But basically the springs are interchangeable no matter what the model is?

RS-R USA does not stock a wide range of Sku's.
I got both of my sets from Japan. I actually think it's the opposite, they (RS-R USA) only carry the regular Down Springs for the non-hybrid 5RX.
IMO, the Ti2000 series springs are superior, especially in a vehicle with a refined ride.
