I have a set of 4 springs off an Altezza available for $50 if you want to chop a quarter coil off each end and fit them to your car. It will make a little difference to the Altezza, but a bigger difference to a Lexus as they start off higher I think.

I did this to my Nissan Wingroad a couple of weekends ago, and not only did I gain a drop in height (12mm) the camber went negative at the same time for better turn-in. I borrowed the spring compressors from Norman at Tyremate, which is where these springs are.

If that's the case I've got a set of standard springs from my last Altezza in the garage.....

$1,000 bucks a corner should cover the spray paint.... ;) :rolleyes: lol

Will you feel better if I put an Lsportline sticker on them....?? :D :D

I m not too keen on replicas...Keith, The reason why I like Lsportline is not all about the marketing, its just that their stuff suits me, subtle yet sporty...:) not many brands out there are like that made for the Toyota / lexus range, well Tom's does but they are even more damn expensive...:( lolz...will get back to you soon...I think getting a panel shop to paint them blue and say lsportline will make it cost alot more...lolz..

Ah, but if you chop your only springs, what do you sell the car with later???

The idea is to buy a second set to play around with, then put it back as standard to sell later.
