Did a full suspension redo on my 06 GTO
Did BC racing coil overs, front and rear radiuos rod busings, energy suspension master bushing kits, 20x9.5 rears and 20x8.5 fronts wrapped in federal evos 595 tires in a 255/30/20 rear and a 225/35/20 fronts. Had my rear fenders shaved. Dampning still needs to be played with and i think i need to raise the front a half inch and maybe the rear a bit. But i thought i would share.
The pics are kinda grany and taken by my crap cell phone but hope they come out and give a good idea of what it looks like. Also this is the car un cleaned up after sitting the the shop for two weeks and taken the same night i had the rear fenders shaved. So its covered in dust and grime and right after i put on the wheels. Thanks for looking,

havent really driven it much or far, definately feels more direct or sharp so to speak, there is a little bit of bounce to it, but i know that is a matter of adjusting the firmness on the dampners. It is a far bit more connected than the stock fair(18's). I still need to get it aligned before i can push it and give a better assesement as far as the ride quality goes for the 20's as apposed to the factory 18's

Thanks everyone for the compliments, I spent allot of time on this project from gathering the suspension parts and pouring over wheels, as these cars dont have a great selection, and when and if i post pics on the GTO forums im sure to get flamed to hell as they tend to frown on anything larger than 18's on this car...lol. But oh well fawk em. Here are some day time pics.

Thanks again everyone this is the longest I have ever owned a car, bought it new 3 + years ago. never thought i would have it this long, I have plans to do a front end Monaro conversion, a turbo kit and a bkk, and then grow up and keep it as my Toy. and get back into anothe Lex, maybe an LS460 and do a mild drop and some rims. Damm i miss my Lexus's after having two A 1999 LS400 and a Gs400. So i will keep this as my weekend warrior and hopefully get back in an LS or a newer GS
