New LX570 owner here, Mod Questions
Hello All!
New owner here and I am excited to start personalizing the rig.
Does anyone know of a company that makes lowering links for the LX?

No one need to take offense at that comment as no where did I mention African Americans...I believe that came from you.
Congratulations on the LX...family transportation is a breeze, but depending on size of your family you may want to start shopping for a box to mount on the luggage rack.

Finding lowering parts may be hard for two reasons. 99% of the aftermarket for the LandCruiser/LX chassis is to lift it for off road use. The second is that because the LX has a combination spring and hydrolic suspension it is not easy to modify and keep the computers happy.
You will find that one one can adjust the sensors at each wheel that detect ride height for the self leveling and ride height feature. If you move the bracket up or down you can get the car to think it is in the ‘N’ normal position at a different height. You could probably lower 1-2” this way and with an alignment be OK. There might be enough travel left for a good ride quality However you will be hard pressed to find many examples of that for lowering to get impressions.

If you guys are in Barrington, there is a good chance youll see this thing around.

That's a nice look. Not my style but I like the way it turned out. I am becoming a fan of the spindle grill and this one looks badass. I know someone with more insight than me will pipe up but I don't think the sensor lift in reverse will work because the suspension will bottom out. I think you're stuck with an suv that looks like it wants to go offload even though it's in a bad mood.

If you are not already familiar with it the www.ih8mud.com forum is probably the biggest source of information on the LX/LC platform. Although much of it is focused on off-road, the rest of it is general ownership, maintenance, troubleshooting and social information.
