Not sure if others have had any issues with lowering the NX but I sure did.
I purchased the Tanabe springs along with the Megan camber kit for mine and it completely changed the steering geometry of the vehicle.
It looked really good but was annoying to drive. So much so that i took them off and went back to the original springs.
Maybe it was just me but I had bad luck lowering mine. Oh, and camber kits are a must!

Hi all, not new to the forum, been following for some time now. I must say, there are some well put together NX's out there! I am picking up a black 2017 Lexus NX F-Sport (AWD) in a few days. I want to lower it (springs) with 22x9, (+33 or +38 offset) wheels. Will I experience any rubbing or possible hitting of the plastic?

When I had mine installed, I had rubbing for the first 3 weeks then went away. But no hole was made through the wheel well. It was mostly when I turned the wheel all the way left or right when parking or getting out of the parking the lot. Ive been wanting to do the lowering springs cuz I think it would complete the look but Im afraid of rubbing again or rubbing when I have alot of people ride in the car. Ive been waiting for someone else do it with 22's too. lol

its quiet, looks good (for my preferences) and works great in rain and even in mud
but
there is some rubbing from time to time. I don't know whats the deal. Sometimes there is noise on minor bump @ 10mph, sometimes I can cross traffic stoppers @30mph with no issue. Maybe tire itself makes this noise because its too wide for the rim. I really have nonidea.
