Default Thinking of Eibachs

I can get a new Pro Kit 8269.140 for $190. Add to that the Alignment kit 5.81290K for $25.

I can slam my RX 300 1.2 inches for $215, plus labor.

It does not go offroad...All those in favor, chime in. Remember it's only 1.2 inches.

I know there's some of you out there that secretly want to do it.

I believe the gap is too big right now:

Go for it man!!!! One more vehicle that will have less of the humongous gap between tire and fender that seems to afflict most cars on the road.

Do it for the cause of "getting rid of that ugly fender to tire gap"!!!! Amen!

Along with lowering it will it also increase the spring rate? I would prefer a little firmer ride myself. As StrmRdr23 says, go for it and let us know how you like it? Do you have the stock wheel tire set up still???

My only concern with lowering with 18s would be possible rubbing when turning.
