Default Decided; 97-01 Tanabe Df210

So, I've been thinking of different lowering options, and the best one i can do for now is getting the DF210 1.8"F 1.0"R

So I know the lexus comes with a lil "lean" or just the front wheel gaps higher than the rear, + i have a system in the back which brings my rear down a little bit lower.

Few questions,
1. If i drop it would the Front sag enough to level out even with the rear being dropped an extra inch

2. Would i need to roll my fenders?


3. I plan on doing the drop myself, just as a DIY, and my car has the ride control [sport and comfort] design. I heard if done incorrectly it would mess up some sensors?

Any info would be appreciated; thanks

I had the DF210 for a couple of years and even after the springs settle, the front will still be a tad bit higher (maybe a finger gap more) than the rears. You will not need to roll the fenders. The drop on the DF210's are not that aggressive.

If you have the AVS (adaptive variable suspension), then you will have to disconnect a couple of connectors on the struts. This is the area where I'm not too familiar with. I had AVS on my car but I swapped out the AVS struts for regular struts, so I never had to take apart the AVS suspension. I'm not sure if the DF210's will fit on the AVS strut. Good luck.
