thank you. next up coming...BC coils with custom spring rates and swift springs, vais ML+, JDM Lexus window visors, spacers, fender roll, wheel spacers,(unless i decides to get volk te37sl but i love the oem wheels too much) toms full lip kit.
i had the most worst year last year, lost basically my wife (9 year relationship), lost all of my belongings in the process, lost family members, was broke and homeless, had nobody during holidays and my bday but this year, im going to give myself the best presents. and it feels damn good.![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
i felt the same. didnt want to lose the ASF but i looking at it now, i didn't even make a difference. i see better, i still have leveling feature and i see the road better. it's a win win situation.
Nice! i prefer the yellowtop myself but i didn't know yellowtop had a group 25. if you look at the pic, my battery was made 2 months ago. some of you may know , its rare to find a battery that was just produced. most batteries you buy are always over 1 year old sitting on the shelves even if its new but my friend special ordered this from another store about 800 miles away since he is a manager.

picked up a new daily driver today. my company has a partnership with bmw usa so i picked this car. good on gas (same if not worse than the isf), good pick up speed..pretty quick, decent handling but that's about it. lol. crappy interior, crappy stereo, i can't believe people buy these cars. im starting to hate bmw. the interior is on the same level as the mazda3s i use to sell at the dealership. but im not complaining when they are paying most of the payment. i'll give it to bmw, they know how to make suspension and throttle response, but thats about it.

Rolled my fenders today and picked these ups. had project kics and ichiba on other cars and never had a problem. i enjoy the ichiba more because you dont have to use the tool. about to install now.

here are some quick pics after the spacer install with the point and shoot camera. did it really quick while in the parking deck. i'll get better ones up soon. before anyone ask, no rubbing, vibrations or anything like that. ive had spacers on all of my previous cars and never had a single issue. but this car is also the heaviest and most powerful. but i have faith.

I like spacers but ichiba has one of the worst lug nuts for their spacers.. they easily strip leaving you with only one option of either using a tool to remove them and potentially damaging your stud or saw through the spacer sacrificing it. I've used aftermarket lugnuts for the 15mm spacers and never had an issue since.

i literally LOL'd. i never eat fast food but had to get tea that morning. so good.
lol. sad part is, it handles like a dream. ive been driving it HARD the past few days and i wish the lexus was like that. 255tq at 1350 rpm is nice too for a 4 cylinder.

the tool i was referring to was the tool that came with the project kics. it has 4 prongs on it and i didnt like that, a few prongs broke on me before where the ichiba hasn't.
