I was going to get it on eBay. What has been holding me back is how the 3rd gen RX in our family is not driven anywhere near as hard as the other cars.

Did the Bilstein struts & dampers and OEM 3RX rear stabilizer bar today! Car is totally transformed! I can drive without getting nauseous now!

Thank you!

Well done. Bilstein is definitely the best shock replacement option for these vehicles.

@MattRX, do you know anything about the floor member damper? I see the 3RX also has it..

It look like this:

Mine has that too, seems like it is also an F-Sport option and mounts where the trailer hitch would go. I think the 4th gen F-Sports get one too but I could be wrong. I don't see or feel how it makes any significant difference, seems like an over-engineered frame brace. The sway bar bracket one is a lot cooler/more useful IMO. The overall extra weight of my RX350 F-Sport over my 2nd gen or a regular 3rd gen actually hinders the performance and makes it handle worse.
