I personally would do the air suspension. It seems air suspension prices are always about the same year after year. Rim prices; however, change often as new styles come out. Maybe later you might find a nother rim style you want or even get the one you want now at a better price.

Nice, but I'd go with the rims. I've had my mind on gettin bags but I know so many people that have had multiple problems with them. In fact just about everybody I know with bags has had problems. If I had to I'd go with the AirRunners. They are probably the most reliable and made from OEM Lexus/Bridgestone bags. But unless you have a really good hook-up, you'll be paying $4000 for them. Not including labor, plus you're going to want to get a good air management system and an extra/bigger tank. IMHO shelling out $5000+ is not worth it to lower your car an inch to 1.5 inches more than the Tein S-techs.

thanks for the info liqrsicc .. haven't seen you around the forums for awhile.... i think i will be going with Universal Air Suspension .. haven't heard bad things about that company... yea if i do Air Suspension my kit will be touching the ground..thats something i want .. if i do go with Universal Air Suspension I'm getting hella good price on it. AIR RUNNER COST way to much .... so anything new with your car?

Nothing new lately but a cracked windshield I'll tell you this though... I'm not going into full detail but I'm workin on a sponsorship with an aftermarket Japanese company specializing in VIP kits on high-end luxury vehicles. I dont wanna say anything else because we're still trying to figure out to what extent my sponsorship will be. I'tll be a suprise though in a couple months Let me know how that air system goes! If it goes right, I might need a hook up!

I feel ya man. I was supposed to have my RX in the shop by the end of Feb to have a custom kit done. Well all that money for that went toward new tires and a bunch of maintenance stuff. Havent even fixed my cracked windshield. Bills just keep coming at me outta nowhere. Lol. Hopefully the modding will start again sometime this summer
