Default 2010 RX lowered with Work Wheels

Hey guys,

I'm new to this forum. I wanted to share my RX with you guys. What do you think? It's a new project of mine. So far I have Work Wheels with a 3" Drop on Zoom Bane Springs. Very soon, I will be putting on a body kit that we're still developing. Sorry about the camera phone pic, all I have right now. LOL! Thanks for looking!

Thanks! The springs are awesome. You definitely get a sportier feel which is something I wanted anyways. Definitely not too extreme though, it's still really comfortable. I did the 2" spring first, but it wasn't low enough for me so I went with the 3" instead.

I am also interested in lowering my rx 350. Do you still have the 2" drop springs, and are they for sale?

I didn't replace the struts. I was told it's not needed for this set up. It rides really good and doesn't bottom out. Even with the 3" springs I put on. I'm assuming it's because the stroke on our cars are really long compared to cars.

Haha! I have a digital camera, just never got to taking pix of the RX. It was at a car wash so I just snapped a pic with my camera phone.

I'm on Zoom Bane Springs from Japan.

3. Does anyone make aftermarket shocks?
20x8.5 +20

Supposedly shouldn't have problem blowing my struts with this set up. So far so good.

I never looked into aftermarket shocks since Lexus said it wasn't needed for this set up.

Who in the USA is a dealer for those springs?
you can try carson toyota, a CL approved vendor here. they can import almost any jdm part you might want. just need to give to them a call to see if they can bring it in for you.
