In case you all haven't noticed, and it seems you haven't, all Lexus cars are higher on the right/passenger side. Lowering won't change that unless you use coilovers. That's why I have them on my SC but not on the G35. The technicians don't know why Lexus does this. I asked a few times. It's funny how some will try to make up something to sound like they know their stuff.
Can anyone confirm that. I'm going out to the garage in a minute to check. Seems odd, if anything, I would think the driver side would be higher

Well I'll be damned. The front right/passenger side is 1/4 inch higher
The rear is the same height.
I'm glad I know this because I would have been a real pain in the *** to the shop that installed my new springs and the company that I bought them from.

I learned about this when I lowered my Lexus. It's the main reason I went to coilovers, to get an even front drop. If you just look, you can see every Lexus car is higher on the right side. It's sort of annoying to me but it is what it is.
Actually, most cars are higher on the right side.
looking good t-rex!!! gunmetal matches the SGM. very nice.
here are a few updated pics now that i've put about 300 miles on the springs. the springs have settled another 1/4 inch since the first pics were posted. the 1/4 inch difference between driver & passenger (higher side) is now only 3mm. maybe a few more miles will even things out.
The drop is so subtle, I like that it gives it a nicer stance without sacrificing practicality. If you don't mind, can you tell me where you got those springs and how much they were? How does the ride compare to stock?

the ride quality is about the same as the stock sports suspension i had. the ride is actually less bouncy and cornering is improved. some of that may be the wider tires??? drop is as advertised after 500 miles...1" in front & 0.6" in the rear. i am a daily commuter and this setup is ideal for me.
