I'm a big fan of shoes that are too big. When I lose one, no problem, I put both my feet in the remaining shoe and hop away.
I feel good too, because I figure a peg leg pirate with a single size 18 foot stole my shoe, and now is happily stomping around somewhere.
makes me feel almost as good as seeing a Q45 on rubber bands

Found the site from my neighbor...
Im the owner of the Q, I read all the posts and dont take any offense to the comments but I find majority of you on here rather amusing. And no my car does not ride like poop
. The suspension on the Q is adjustable and makes it possible to run bigger rims withouth sacrificing ride so no compromise there.... honestly cannot tell the difference between stock and the 22's other then when I hit potholes.
The car is still stock height and is slightly taller due to the extra inch in wheel diameter. I will be dropping it around 2 inches and adding a JP kit and brembs in the coming months. I'm just contemplating if I should do an air runnner suspension or not so I got more researching to do. More things to but thats a secret for now.
You guys have a great site.. keep up the good work.

The math is wrong, the car looks weird, I'll give him a cookie for trying so he can say "hey I got my car on 22s". I bet with the stock brakes behind it, it looks ridiculous.
The lowered Q45 SoCal posted looks better but its still not a pretty car to look at and one of the reasons it is discontinued.
I think I am going to start buying size 18 Jordans on my feet b/c it technically has more leather and its MORE shoe than my proper size, a 13.

Just a side note.. I understand your devoted passion and enthusiasm for your Lexus cars being a moderator and all but for future NON LEXUS NEWBEE's you might be a little less subjective in the future so you wont steer off new posters in the wrong direction.
If anyone has any information as far as pro's and cons with air runner suspensions and so forth I'd like to hear. Much Appreciated in advance.
Great site by the way mods

PS. As another moderator of Club Lexus I suggest if you don't like what others have to say just ignore them moderator or not. The fastest way for a thread to go downhill is when people react to what others posts in a negative manner. Just explain yourself but leave the personal comments out even if others made personal comments about you. No sense in getting into an internet war and getting banned. Enjoy yourself here on the forums and don't take things personally

You mention hitting potholes. Be CAREFUL. Smooth ride or not, hitting potholes with a tire-wheel combination like this is just asking for damage. There simply isn't much tire sidewall or cushion to absorb the impact....and that impact is transmitted right through to the wheel rim.
Also, with larger-than-standard wheels / tires like these, depending on the total outside diameter of the package, it can make the speedometer and odometer read low by lowering the rotational speed of the wheels in relation to the car's true speed. A low-reading speedometer can get you speeding tickets and a low-reading odometer can void the car's warranty by altering the car's true mileage. .

I dont want to have any pictures taken until I get my Brembos and JP kit so they'll have to hold off. I just find it funny for some and YOU to criticize someone's ride you have no clue about and assume the person slapped on some rims and called it a day. I dont know... maybe your a rookie moderator since I find some of the comments to be expected from an average poster but not from a moderator. It's obvious your taste buds are bland for the Q mentioning it's discontinued because its not pretty to look at- I had no clue...I'll make sure I call up Infiniti to confirm this tomorrow
Just a side note.. I understand your devoted passion and enthusiasm for your Lexus cars being a moderator and all but for future NON LEXUS NEWBEE's you might be a little less subjective in the future so you wont steer off new posters in the wrong direction.
If anyone has any information as far as pro's and cons with air runner suspensions and so forth I'd like to hear. Much Appreciated in advance.

I find it AMUSING out of everyone, you decided to quote me, who has been a super-moderator for what 3 years, a moderator for 4, runs a seperate website and has thrown very successful multi-car shows, now track meets and has helped lead Lexus owners to victory at the NOPI Nationals year after year. I know a "little" about the industry and what people want. Just a little
![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
So, don't get your panties in a bunch if I don't think your execution is glorious, sorry. I've had things done to my car that had people do this

I surely can appreciate you taking the time to join here but I don't appreciate you trying to call me out, because you will lose badly.

Coil overs will handle better period, but to make adjustments takes time. The Air suspension are not really made for handling corners, but they do ride real nice and smooth. There will be body roll around corners, but most people who get air do not drive their cars really agressively especially with the 20 or 22" rims. I'm not sure how my friend got the JP kit, I'll have to ask. I know it took a long time to arrive though.

Air runner sounds like the way to go but the car rides so perfect now I'm afraid it might make the car's suspension like honda or something. Yeh, see if you can find out from your friend where he got it from... it would be much appreciative. Im guessing they run around 3k? Any local socal spots that do a good install? Thanks for the help Lawman and CK6speed.
