It is in Japanese only but through google translation, the KYB shocks in this kit is compatible to AVS!!

That white car doesn't look much lower than stock. I also can'y tell how ride height is adjusted from the picture of the assembly. It's only a matter of time though.

Well the specs says lower the front and rear about an inch but indeed the picture doesn't seem to show it.

It's gonna be a while, not even Lexus has come out with the lowering springs. I'm hoping to see something around spring for our cars. Until then I'll weep until they come out

Not surprised that these are compatible with AVS since KYB is the oem manufacturer of the AVS shocks for the 4GS.

Beside it being one inch lower, what are the other benefits? Isn't this the same thing as installing an F-sport spring on an OEM shock?

Did I read, it has 36 way adjustable settings? Might be a great alternative to coilovers.

It's 32 way adjustable for the non-AVS type.
