LOWER?? If I had my way, I'd raise my RX up a bit.

Why would you want to lower it?

Because it needs it. That long front snout makes it look like a car on stilts.

The RX has a similar adaptive suspension (if yours has it?) as the GS does and I know RSR makes lowering springs for it and they're awesome. I'd check there or even email them about it. They have always been quick to get back to me when I have had questions.

And while similar not quite up there with the GSF.

Someone here installed an air suspension to lower their RX.

I'm not really sure what you're talking about. I'm referring to my GS F Sport. The RX F Sport has adaptive dampers with a similar suspension as well. It's an option on regular GS' and I'm assuming the same for the RX.
