i am wanting to lower my car a little
i have found is200 kits and ppl say they fit the altezza???
i figure they will fit but mine is the altezza rs200 with the 3sge 4 pot engine which i am guessing is lighter than the 6 pot is200 lump

so if i put these kits for the lexus on then arent the fronts going to be wrong???

Good question. I'm not sure there will be enough of a difference in the weight of the engine to make a big difference. But if you're concerned about it, go for some Japanese springs which have been designed for the Tezza.

TTE springs were designed for the IS200 though, it's springs designed for the RS200 that you're asking about, isn't it ?

Their the same springs. 40Kg lighter (or close to that) between the IS200 and 3SGE Engine. My suspension needs a slight tweak to get back to WIM settings.
