Thanks ... I think it looks nicer in person. The photo doesn't justice ... maybe it's the angle.
Any how, I sold the car to my brother. I put stock wheels and springs back since he's not into "sporty" image and prefers the stock smooth (floating) ride.

More questions here,
Have you already sold your rims, tires and springs? Just curious how much better the handling was with that set up vs. your stock equipement. Also, for a novice to mods, what's all involved in installing the springs? Lastly, did the 17's hurt gas mileage any?

I thought the combination of firmer springs and low profile tires made handling much more assuring. The car leans little during cornering. I did some mountain driving and I would give the car 8 out of 10 for handling vs. 5 out of ten with the stocks.
Actually I liked my Lexus handling over my current BMW 330Ci with the Sports Package. The bimmer is just too firm and it tends to skip and jump over bumps as opposed to gliding over with the Lexus.
In terms if fuel economy, I felt the car was just a little bit heavier. I would imagine fuel comsumption degraded with wider tires (but not by much).

Wow, your LEx must have jammed, I just test drove a 330ci and the thing was rock solid around corners. I know what ya mean though about jumpin' and skippin' Perhaps part of that is because of the real wheel drive.
Speakin' of Beemers, how much would you say a 01 BMW 330ci is worth, totally loaded with all but xenon's, 6000 miles. Edmunds will only give prices on brand new '01's.
