Hi from South Africa. Prado 150

[r2m]

I'd love to do a Lexus lookalike, but shipping would be prohibitively expensive. We get hammered with shipping from the USA and buying anything bigger than like a sticker pack pretty much doubles in cost after shipping and taxes. It really sucks.


The Prado ride is pretty amazing, especially for a 11year old vehicle so i dunno if the Lexuses (Lexii? ) would be radicaly different. The front feels great, the rear just sucks. If I crank up the air to "High" at the back it feels miles better, but then once you hit 50kph it goes back down to the usual.

If spaced the sensors down a little so it's probably sitting a little less than an inch higher than it SHOULD but it feels a little better like that.

Plural, I think it's Lexus'. My wife and I named our rig Lexie.
When you're ready for new tires, try some taller tires with a soft sidewall. That will help quite a bit with ride quality, bumpyness, not cornering.
The taller tires will also benefit on trails too!

Thanks for the info.

It must be because of the airbags. From what I understand the LC200 also has KDSS and doesnt seem to have huge bumpstops and a s***ty ride, so yeh. I am tempted to take the chance and stick shorter bumpstops in and see how it goes. Just need to find part numbers for them.
