Nice motor infin

I think it looks nice at the standard or lowered height.

Wot size are your alloys and tires.

Cheers

They are 21's. I would have to look around for the specs if you really want it.

That's about the jist of it iKon_RX. I knew they are out there. I see them in my Harrier Magazine. But can't read Japanese nor can I speak it or I would call Japan and ask!

Luxury Mod sells coilovers for the RX

You can check out their website and see how they make their springs.
http://www.zoom-bane.jp/

The last year I inquire they are about $450 but with the yen being so strong now, it can easily go up to the $500s which is still pretty reasonable.

I have never seen any Coilovers that cheap under $900 or so and worth a dam. I wonder if they will answer an email Oh and the coils on there site are for the newer RX350 and 400 Great find! Thanks for posting.

Update, I just got a message from Luxury Mods, because of the high yen to US$ exchange rate the cost went up to near $700

Nice! and it's for a RX330? Cause there have been changed to the Tranny with the 350 so I dunno about the suspension. Is this a sports coil or can it be softened?

I don't know all the details and don't want to give you wrong information either. So the best thing is to PM LuxuryMods for details on the coilovers. I vaguely remember seeing the poster before and it's fully adjustable with a 2-3" drop

By the way Magen has agreed to make me custom Coilovers. I am providing stock struts and I will let you guys know about the details later when this becomes final

So, you are coming off the air? Any reason other than the lack of drop?

^^^ lol well a shop is doing the install. It's pretty simple since I already have the air system installed. It's just another version of an air set up just ALLOT more stable and comfortable and LOW...



PS: This is the most expensive route to go where air suspension is concerned. The cups alone usually cost about $2k plus and good coils another $2K ++
