Mad Props to Jeff for his help and use of his shop today!!
Okay GS is officaly lowered now thanks to Jeff and his buddy Matt. We did it in a record time of ~ 4 hours? something like that. Not bad for 3 little guys working on a car. If anyone needs side work done Matt is a Tech for the garage and he can help anyone out with anything. I was in heaven with all those tools
Okay here are a few of the mods to the GS. Lowered it ~ 2", OEM door sills completed, and Nav-Tv PNP kit installed. No wire cutting this time. I want to use the rear headrests for the kids to mount monitors and I am hoping this PNP kit will make it easier for me and less wires to cut??
see Matt is the perfect drop for the car
sills: thanks to Sewell...

Enjoy your sugarfree redbull.
let me/us know next time you want more installs
I noticed that shield or whatever I cut my thumb on in your engine bay was nearly down to the bone, thankfully I had my tetanus shot! No pain, no gain. The end result was well worth the struggles today, for sure.

mike's quote was originally 80 bucks for a labor charge, but I knocked it down to 40. since we didn't know what to expect.
other quotes will be in between 80-100.

I know where I am going from here forward if I cant do it in my garage! I enjoy this stuff to much and thank GOD my wife doesnt kill me for all this.
Urmil I am sure you have an extra set of rims laying around for me
Honestly not sure just yet. I like the G-Spyders but they will become my winter set up. Shot me some ideas. I will probably wait till spring unless I get a deal that I cant refuse!!!Thanks everyone! I am pleased with the ride and drop. Everything is good!

Mike, car looks good! Do you require a front/rear camber kit? Whats your camber after the alignment?
Jeff, can your shop help me out with my suspension too? I got new struts and need them installed. Was planning on next Saturday.
I have Eibach springs on my car right now. I need those taken off the stock struts and installed on the Koni struts... then everything needs to be put back together.
Can you PM me a quote if you can help?

no alignment yet. I will give it a good month before I do that and there are not camber kits for Lexus. I just need to get the Toe adjusted on the car. Its the same as the IS. I will take it to my buddy's dealer and do it there after it settles in.
Jason we did basically what you want to do. They have the tools to do it so hit Jeff up to see when they have some time. I went yesterday and I think he said Sunday's are easier since you are just using the shop and they dont have any clients at that time.
