Teds, did you have to add CC plates to bring your alignment into spec?

Looks killer though!!
He has had them on there for quite awhile. Well over a year. Compared next to my car which hasn't been lowered yet, he sits at what H&R advertises. I don't think it has gone below that.

Pretty good. I wonder why mine settled so much? It's at least another inch lower than when they were put on.

How long have you had them in? Are you sure you got the sport kit and not the race kit? The race kit is an inch lower.

They have been on the car since May of 2000 but only about 7000 miles. I'm sure they are the sport springs.

jimc, I actually lowered the front by way of "torsion bar adjuster flip", which gave me a 3 1/4" drop. So, even with camber adjusters and an alignment, the camber is still off.

You might have to get some imported from Japan... there, the car is known as a Toyota Kluger. I checked the JAOS USA site and unfortunately all they make for the Highlander is an exhaust... I was able to find one at http://store.yahoo.com/lexusparts/higlowsprin.html but it's $360 just for some lowering springs

Anyhow, here's my contribution:





Eibach Pro-Kit on Tokico blues... I used to have RS*R Down springs in there, but they were too low for my liking - it lowered the car about 2". My only complaint about the Pro-Kit is that it leaves the fender gap in the front bigger than the fender gap in the rear, but it's common with a lot of Pro-Kit drops...
