I'm loving my new mods and here is my perspective. The A'pexi N1-X Evolution Extreme resonated muffle system is incredible. The sound it produces is deep and sounds amazing. It's not annoying or obnoxious, especially for my neighbors. Once you step on the gas pedal you hear the beast wake up. I can't help, but drive even faster with this system. Everyone that hears it loves the sound it produces. I will dyno the car soon. There is a difference in performance with this system and highly recommend it. As for labor it took 1.5 hours and cost $221 to install.
Swift Springs are perfect for the RCF. I live in New York and the roads are horrible. The ride comfort is the same as the OEM. There is no bottoming out or rubbing. Handling has improved over OEM. Labor took 4 hours and cost $578. to install.
None of us wants to waste money and feel disappointed on purchasing the wrong products. The A'pexi and Swift are incredible modifications to improve the RCF. I am beyond satisfied. Huge thanks goes out to Lou from Mod in Japan for getting me a killer deal on the products. He was able to ship the products from CA to NY less than a week. He responded to all my questions fast and was friendly. I'll definitely be purchasing from Mod in Japan again.
We need to have a NY meetup - there's a few of us RCF's in the NY metro area and we've all yet to meet!
I live on Long Island, NY. I will definitely meetup. I've been looking for a group to cruise to events, but haven't found any yet. I've been out of this industry for a couple years, but now going every weekend to some type of event.
Ssmoked...It's a full exhaust system and everything in NY is expensive. The labor rate is very fair for what I paid over here. I always tell people, NY is a great place to visit, but not a place to live in. It is expensive out here.
Punishe...I didn't since it's not that big of a drop. I will most likely go through the tires slightly quicker, but that doesn't bothers me. Also, the car still drives straight and doesn't pulls to one side.
Pheen...as Yooniverse mentioned I purchased the ramps at Pep Boys about 10 years ago. If you are going to work under the car, just make sure to use jack stands with the ramps. These types of ramps have collapsed with other people.

I'm in LI as well in Franklin Square or Garden City area near Adelphi if you're familiar. I know there's another USB with red guts near me from Valley Stream, i've spotted him multiple times but we're always going the opposite directions.
In addition, I know of a black one in Westchester, another USB in the Stonybrook area, and then in Brooklyn another USB (bassem) and a White one as well. That's 7 of us that i'm aware of, we should make a thread for a NY meetup. Unfortunately, i'm terrible at coordinating events as no one shows up and even the Lexus regional forum is weak so I never get to meet other owners.
Looks great!! Fellow New Yorker here, I own a GSF though, I live in New Hyde Park and bought my car out in Smithtown, so if you guys don't mind including a GSF owner in your meet ups I'd gladly join! Don't see any F's around here.
You guys are pretty close to me. I'm on the border of Nassau and Suffolk up in the North Shore of LI. I actually purchased my RCF from Lexus of Smithtown after I traded in my GS350F-Sport. The GSF is stunning; I absolutely love that car!
