Thanks man. I think after your springs are installed, yours will be prolly lower. I am lowered on Esplier in front and Tanabe in back. Don't ask why, but everyone seems to think the stance is good. The lip is going to be a nightmare to find in good shape and not cracked. If you find one, buy it, don't wait, just buy it if in real good shape.

I almost bought myself a pair of Espelirs, but then I realized living out in the country and having to daily drive on bad roads wouldn't agree well with those, so I found a good deal on barely used TT suspension. And I am always constantly looking for a nice lip.... One day a good deal will arrive and I will get to it first.

(2 months worth of catching up in 20 minutes wow nice dyno numbers)
dont take this as me being an ***... but you torched the stock rotors and upgraded to larger discs and 4pots off an ls400... aside from cost why did you not go with a slotted and driller? and why rubber break hoses...
(my passenger front is warped is why im asking and looking to do a break job in the next month) any input is nice

Let me shed some light on the TT springs/struts, they will be real close to the lowering springs I have, but will be more even in the rear also. The spring rate will be dramatically better of course from the OEM springs, unless you decide to change them too. Only time will tell.. ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

Thanks for the dyno numbers compliments. . A long journey, but the patience and effort paid off in my book.

Yeah, the Espelirs seem to be the lowest drop for springs, and I didn't want to have to do any mods inside the fender wells. I've read a lot of people who have the TT suspension don't have to do any mods in the fender, so I am hoping I can get by without touching the lining or relocating the wiring harness. I'm excited to see how the suspension looks when it's on. ![Woot](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/woot.gif)

Thanks guys.I couldn't have done it without the other thread. I even thought of just putting the Infinity caps on there and calling it the day, then I said, NaH.. aint having that on my Lex. All i need now is a complete set of TT rear calipers and rotors and she will be done for now. Well almost.
Dewerke how is the car man?

On the way back from the doctor today, the car was idling fine and running smooth. Then it just died, out of no where... I cruised or creeped to the closet parking lot and was very aggravated. Called a few folks and they gave me some ideas to check.. The FPR showed 0 on the gauge. I then checked the battery connections and all was good. Checked the fuse going to the separate relay for the fuel pump and all was good. Changed the fuse out anyway. I then checked the main efi fuse and it was good. I had the wife pick me up and bring me home. Hated to see the Lex left behind. Got home grabbed my laptop, few tools, volt meter and so on. Got back and rechecked all the stuff again, found no cracked, broken, vacuum lines. Everything seemed in order. I then removed the back seat since the FPR was showing 0. Checked the volts at the relay, showed 12.34 and the output showed close to that with the key on. Had the wife go buy a new relay anyway just rule this out, plus there cheap. Replaced it and a no go. Still had same volts, but still NO noise coming from the fuel pump. I think the TT USED fuel pump just took a dump. I will check the output on the AEM tomorrow and double check everything I did in the dark of the parking lot. Yes, my light went out on me. If anyone has any other thoughts, please chime in.. The way the car acted, stalled, and sounded while restarting sounds like no fuel. Plus I dont here it, and the new relay is getting the correct volts. I should hear the pump run as soon as I turn the key on. I know if the temp is too hot the AEM will shutdown the fuel, at least that's what I was told. Temp gauge never got above normal, everything seemed great that I could possibly see or find. This post is useless without pictures.....
