Sounds good, but if all you want the first gen suspention is for lowering your RX4, thier might be an easier way. For my RX4 I just bought lowering springs from Aus. Lowered the car just right. I know there is a thread on here too about it. Search Lowering RX4 or something like that. Has alot of good websites that a member privided. Might be easier to lower the car this way...its an idea

Sounds good. If you want to lower the car a little, just cut the factory springs one or two coils.
