Coilovers for RX330/350/400h?
Has anyone found a company that produces coilovers for our RX? I'm running Eibach Springs and know H&R makes springs as well. The other end of the spectrum is Airrunner suspension, but haven't found anything in between.
If I can find a company that makes coilovers for the 2nd gen RX, would anyone be interested in a group buy or jump in with me on a purchase?
Post up or PM me

Todd, so you are running Eibach with stock struts ? I've pm'd you with a question last week
still haven't heard from you yet. I'm interested in a set of coilovers if the price is right

TRD makes coilovers for the 2nd Gen RX
it's call TRD Sportivo
i found some dude that import all these from Japan but I lost his website
in yen it's about $13000 but the guy is selling those for $18000
I called TRD USA, they said that your local Toyota TRD dealer might be able to order for you
also, it will cover under Toyota / Lexus warranty as long as you get it installed by Toyota / Lexus technicians

Are you sure they are coilovers? I've seen a Sportivo is a spring/shock absorber set. 1.4" drop and non-adjustable...
And, for $18000, I would definitely put Airrunners on my RX.

I was pondering about purchasing coilovers for the longest time but ended up ordering airrunner. there is a company that makes it in japan. it can adjust 6.3inches, just as low as air ride. kit retails $2500, they wont budge on price either. I will have to ask my Japanese friend what company it was.

I'm assuming you mean threaded coilovers, right? Why would you need this? Are you corner-balancing an RX for some reason? I'm fairly new to RX's, so I'm trying to understand your goal.

My goal is to lower the RX even more than the springs (1.4"), be able to adjust the height as needed, and to control the ride dampening.
RX applications are very rare in the US, so there aren't any distributors here that carry it. As I mentioned, the only 2 options are Springs and Air suspension. I already have springs and don't like the airrunner setup because of the noise (compressor) and the space that the tank takes up.

In the Toyota Harrier/Lexus Rx Japanese magazine I have I see allot of coil overs. Most I think are for the new generation but I cannot read Japanese 
I ended up going on air with the AccuAir digital leveling system. Bags sitting on stock shocks. Not bad but still no low enough for me lol!! Can ride this way but it scraps at this point without any fender work. I cannot find ANY Coils for the RX330 all but for a company on ebay. They are under a grand, sport coils, only adjustable about 3 inches and made by a company that makes knock off products in Asia. I won't risk it and kill any chance of a nice ride on the daily.
Before with comfortable H&R springs.
Car is filthy in these pics by the way
and this is still with 10% air in the bags.
