HL springs to lower/improve handling?

[orbitcorbett]

Anyone know of any good springs, sway bars, suspension parts to lower the Highlander a bit and improve handling? It seems everyone out there has stuff for Tundras, Camrys, Corollas, and every other model but the Highlanders.

I actually want the vehicle to sit a bit lower, lower the CG, and improve rollover stability.

Any ideas would be very helpful!

BTW, mine is a 2002 Limited, 2WD

I've seen a set of springs that ome from Japan. Thay are costly.
Me, I would not slam it!!

But whatI would do or consider is replicating the 2006-2007 Sport Edition suspension.
I'm still trying to get suspension part numbers . My dealer claims the Sport edition part #'s not listed yet.
I'm guessing the spring rates ar different and the sway bars are thicker.
I will guess that the struts are the same.

It is not documented in any brochures what the specific suspension differences are between my 06 HL Ltd. and the Sport edition.
If anyone knows wha they are ...let me know.

PS I've been told by an Unreliable TMS guy that the Limited gets different spring rates as opposed to the base models . I'm not too sure of that. But then again, The 4WD Ltd. is several hundred pounds heavier than the base model stripped down. And those I've driven do handle way different than mine.

Thanks, Lifetech. I don't want to slam my 02 Limited, I just want to lower it a bit for more car-like handling and a little meaner look). Oddly enough, I work for an engineering firm that does accident reconstruction. A couple of our best engineers have looked at the test specs on the Highlander for me, and it apparently, it has pretty good numbers in crash tests and rollover tests. The dummys had fairly good femur and chest loading forces in crash tests, and the static stability factor of 1.21 is pretty good too (that's where they tip the vehicle over while it's standing still to measure how easily it will roll in an accident).

I'm sure the sport suspension you mentioned would be better than mine, but would like to know more when you find out.
