Have you looked at Covercraft? 

Probably, have you mixed up some soapy water in a spray bottle and sprayed your lines yet? 

Have you pulled the codes yet?

https://youtu.be/n3ODPo2so_Y for anybody interested in installing a cheqp ebay strut spacer kit, here ya go. With the right tools it took about 45 minutes per corner. Fyi i only used these on the front of my RX300, on the back i used 2012 highlander struts with the RX300 strut mounts. 

I got the front 40mm spacers in. Now I need to find a nice flat spot to adjust the camber. Those 235/70r16 Nokian outposts dont look very big anymore, they might just become winter tires. Has anyone tried taking the back sway bar links and using them up front? They look like they might just fit

I got an 8 bolt camber kit, 4 front/4 rear should i have the tabs pointing in on both upper and lower bolts for both sides till i get it adjusted? Anybody have a diagram?

These are the Outpost AT 235/70r16 tires i went with. They're really close to spring perches in the back but dont touch or cause problems except snow and ice really pack in there and rattle around. I was kinda thinking about doing those spring overs kits on my struts to give me some more room in there 

I installed rear 2012 highlander struts and camber bolts today. It has so much more room than before. I'm stoked I won't have to listen to the rocks that get stuck in my tread hit those old spring perches anymore. Tomorrow im planning on getting the front done

Hey everyone, been following catching up with this thread. I'm from the Bahamas with a Japanese version, went with bigger tires with 2" spacers all around and it kind of helps but still trying to get a lift that i dont have to make crazy upgrades. So the 08-12 highlander struts will fit directly?? Do i have to make any adjustments?

Some people use the rx300 sturt mounts on the highlander struts or a little bit of drilling/trimming will be needed. I'm planning on putting my ser in soon, I also just got my camber bolts finally so i can adjust that when im done with the installation

I just purchased a stock 2003 RX300 and am wanting to “beef” it up for some off road fun. Nothing crazy, just out having fun. Wanting to go bigger tires, wheels, possibly suspension upgrades, and anything else that would make it fun and cool looking for my sons and I. We are going to do this together. 

Go with 2008-2012 highlander struts. It'll give you some tire room and you wont have to get wheel spacers or new wheel right away. Plus it like 1.75 inches of lift, dont go over 2.5" without making subframe spacers because of cv angles

It looks awesome! Hows the drivability with those new shoes? 

There's a lot of "cheap options" but worh how tight it is you need one that you can "clock" so you can send the hoses out the right direction. 

Your shop is wrong, there is a write up on here (or clublexus.com)about it. Good luck

Some highlanders  have the same transmission,  also look at rock auto

Has anyone done an oil filter relocation kit on their rx300? What did you use and do you have pictures?

These tires are a game changer for this rig and our cold alaska winters. Ive had them on about 18 months (about 2k miles) and i think im getting a pair for my truck next!

On my rx300 I can change mine out pretty quickly up front without removing the tire or to much trouble in the back the tire has to come off

this is about as easy as diy projects come. No tools needed and instant results!

A bit spendy but flatout claims 3 inches of lift.. to be noted the add says the images are generic pictures 

What brand parts did you get? Are you choosy or just parts store stuff?

Did you check your fuses?

This is my rear drivers side camber jacked up and hanging, tire off, on uneven ground.. when i get my 40 mm spacers in should i pop in the new camber bolts and adjust it back to here?

Well I dont have utd pics but this day is what set me out to beef up the rx-rover. I had the 225/75r15 LTX michelin banana peels on and would get stuck on flat ground. I switched to nokian outpost at 235/70r16 and what a difference! I prefer driving this over my 2014 fx4 ecoboost in the winter now.

For static camber you just want to be at 0 deg. I have setup for very slight positive camber (top of wheels out) for running dirt/gravel forest roads at speed because of the way they are crowned for water runoff. It also helps a little bit with dynamic steering when you are under compression but that is less of an issue if your alignment is balanced well.

I still think about getting another 300! miss ripping through the woods in that thing.

 

Thank you, when i got this little RX it was just a backup rig bit since i vdone some work to it I'm really loving it up here in alaska. Adding some 235/70r16 a/ts made a huge difference. The previous all season tires did not cut the mustard for alaskan winters. 

Longtime creeper first time post. I have a 2000 RX300 awd

New kyb struts,moog ball joints and sway bar links all installed and i just got some 40mm ebay spacers, camber adjustment bolts and the camber tool, does anyone have the camber spec? I though i found it around here before but i cant anymore. Thanks
