Default Anyone Interested in RX300/330 (1st Gen/2nd Gen) Lowering Springs?

Hello RX camp! I have been asked by one of our suspension manufacturers if there is any demand within the RX community for lowering springs.

This is a reputable company (that I'm not ay liberty to divulge at the present time), that has garnered a high level of respect within the GS/IS/LS/ES communities. Rest assured these lowering components are to be crafted utilizing the finest raw materials.

"Only top quality Silicon Alloy Spring Steel known as Silicon Manganese or Medium to High Carbon Spring Steel known as Carbon Chromium are used."

The lowering rate would be in the 30-40mm range. They are to be tuned to work in concert with the stock shocks.

If there is interest, I would ask that pics be posted of (1) 1st Gen and (1) 2nd Gen front and rear stock struts. Or a parts diagram would suffice.

If you guys want springs, please reply to this thread!

Definately interested, but it has to be closer to the 40mm. However I am more interested in a full adjustable coil over. 1"drop on an RX that has a 4" wheel gap really isn't all that much. The problem for me is I doubt they will have it in time by August, so I might I have to go with another brand. After that I was planning on switcing to adjustables once they start releasing them.

30mm is about 1.18" and 40mm is about 1.57". So there springs would be betwen a 1" and 1.5" drop.

Yes, and will these work in harmony with the factory option self/manual leveling air suspension?
