Lowering My Lexus

Recommended Posts

i have had some lowered cars in the past but the ride is always a nightmare!

my stock lexus could do with a drop but i dont want that bumpy feel every pebble type ride like i had on my E30.

whats the best way to improve looks but keep the smooth ride?

Pro-Kit will lower a car with standard suspension by 30mm. If you fit them to a Sport model, it'll only end up 15mm lower than "stock" since it's already 15mm lower from the factory.

I've got a set waiting to go on my car, but haven't got around to it yet. I really need to get on top of that...

I installed last week the Eibach sportline can see the pics on my post a couple down from yours.

There is no bumpy ride with the factory shocks ... and my new Eibach sprintgs, if you put other shocks then it will be harder cannot comment on that though as I did not try it.

I must confess the suspension feels much nicer now ... than before, more progressive.

(I think the IS300 SportCross comes with the sport suspension.... I read it somewhere ... although mine looked like an MPV in my eyes !!! lol).

i lowered mine with Spax springs, had the geometry calibrated by WIM 4 times over the 7 years I owned the car & putting about 80k on the clock.

only minor adjustments made after the initial calibration, in the 7 years I only needed to change 2 shocks. sold the car a few weeks ago with over 170k miles.

ride was not much different from stock tbh

I have the apex springs and its not bad but hell it scrapes over every ramp on full load, make sure you check your rear shocks to see if the bushes have gone because if you take them off and they disintegrated otherwise you can't put them back with out thinking it might play abit so i had to buy to new ones as lexus don't do over the counter bushes for them.
