My wife doesn’t like the way her 2019 GX 460 base model handles. I understand it’s counterproductive to try and improve the handling of a tall, narrow, “luxury” SUV but I’m hoping there might be solutions to this that don’t require us to sell the car.
The GX serves as a family car to haul our baby and his car seat and stroller.
My wife has previously used a bmw 340i, Toyota RAV4, an LX 470, and a Porsche Macan and she preferred the handling of all of those over the GX.
Are there suspension options that can stiffen up the GX without giving it a lift? What springs and shocks can I buy without lifting the suv?
I was thinking of adding 295/45R20 tires and 20” wheels in addition to stiffer suspension. Do folks think that’d improve handling? Are there oem lexus wheels (or oem replicas) that are 20” and could accommodate a 295 tire? I despise the look of most aftermarket wheels.
I understand that we can sell the GX and get another SUV but my wife isn’t keen on doing that since we bought this not 2 months ago.
Thanks all!
