Lowering my CT200H and tighten up handling

A few months ago I decided to order some mods for my ct200. I originally wanted lexus lowering springs but ended up going with Megan lowing springs. I also added a ultra racing front strut bar and a Megan h brace. After lowering the car I couldn’t stand the sunken wheel look so I installed 20mm spacers in the rear and 5mm spacers in the front with 225/45/17 nitto motivo tires. I really wanted to add the f sport blue front and rear sways but those seem to be really hard to find. Anywho here’s some pictures.

Yea as long as the payment goes through, I'll have the entire blue sway bar kit with the brace as well. Not cheap but figure it's OEM factory part and BNIB, so gotta pay to play. I know with every other vehicle that I have upgrade sway bars to it has dramatically increased handling and decreased body roll. I can't imagine this not being the same. I mainly wanted them as well because I am doing the blue F-sport lowering springs and in the instructions they touch on the sway bars and the settings, so while I have the car on the lift in my garage doing springs I'd want to do the sway bars while I'm there...

I'm done after all this. I really wanted just to do a few things. LED interior/exterior bulbs, illuminated door sills, change the green interior leds to white (that's in progress), rx350 bi-xenon projector retrofit, f-sport springs and f-sport sways, oem jdm rain visors, and finally the oem jdm black smoke chrome top and bottom grill piece. That's it, then it's the daily driver.

Daily done… I think. Tint is 5% to 20%. Megan race springs, and hyper dipped the wheels .

I have an unopened box of Megan Race springs if anyone is interested, I’m located in Nor*Cal (Bay/Central Valley).

here’s some pics . Need some spacers :)
I know this post was a few months back, but I was wondering if the extra set of Megan spring you have are still available? If so, how much and would you be willing to ship? Thanks in advance

I recently put my car back to stock as I plan to sell it and get another vehicle. I’m currently selling my Megan springs, Megan h brace, and Ultra Racing front strut bar, but looking for a local sell since shipping would eat up a big percentage of the money I’ll be getting from these parts.

Did you ever get the f sport sway bars? A few months back I had someone on here message me and told me they had a set of bnib f sport sway bars for $300. Considering that they are hard to find and we’re bnib I ended up purchasing them. However, this person turned out to be a scammer, they never provided me with a tracking number or kept in contact with me after I sent them the payment. Good thing I had paid them through PayPal and was able to get my money back.

I did not. It was a yahoo japan auction and I went through JapanParts as the proxy. I've used them many times. They informed me that the seller did not have it in stock and that it would take roughly 30 days to source. 30 days on the dot came and I was informed that they could not be had. So I got my $1,000 refunded. I'm still actively searching for stuff. But I think short of having the sway bars on a car already and someone parting them out, it's gonna be a tough find...

I've completely lowered my expectations of finding them. I have found other JDM goodies, like the rear headrests, rear oem cupholder, oem keyshell fob..etc. It's amazing how much stuff we don't get here in the states with Lexus branded stuff...

Glad you got your money back! Too many scammers out there... they are always on FB posting on the group.. smh. I think someone did message me here about the bars but provided no pictures or anything like that. So I just deleted their PM.

Wow you’re really going all out with this car. I did the who jdm thing with my Hondas, but I told myself I wouldn’t go down that same rabbit hole with the Lexus.

I'm not gonna go crazy like I did with my STi. My RCF is done other than maybe two more things. But the CT I just want the cool little JDM stuff that we don't. If nothing else just for the rare factor...lol

I stumbled upon a couple people on japan yahoo auctions that have all OEM aftermarket Lexus stuff and it's boggling.

I'm tempted to buy 2-3 of the stuff I already have and then see if people want to buy it. Much easier for people to get access to stuff being shipped here in the states than them trying to use or figure out a proxy site/JYN conversion/shipping...etc.

If you change your mind and are open to shipping, I’d be happy to discuss prices with you.

I’m asking $120 for the Megan lowering springs. I just posted the parts for sale in the classifieds section. Go check it out, if you’re interested in them and want me to see how much shipping would be then pm me afterwards.

thanks,
picking up a ct next month but already have the blue springs. Can’t wait to do this!
