The shocks and springs from the 2.4L will very likely "fit" to teh 3.0/3.3L, but it may bring negative effects to the handling.

The chasis codes are different between FWD (MCU10W) and AWD (MCU15L).

The new H&L sport springs did lower my 2004 RX330 by about an inch. I like the slightly lowered look and I'm using standard original shocks.
The main complaint was nose dive during braking. It's now about 75% better.
Secondly the side to side sway was more than I thought safe. The new springs might have improved this by 35%.
The ride is stiffer and you feel some bumps. After driving a week, I only notice at road imperfection. (I'll slow down for railroad crossings).
Overall I'd do it again.
The cost was approx. $300 for the sport springs and another $455 to install.
Next up would be a stabilizer bar to improve side to side dip at corners.
Anyone try that one yet.
