I drive a demo car from work. ( work for Toyota) so they give me a demo.

I did have a 98 white Es for a couple months...but just sold it last week.

I have 120k on my 97 Es.......and she purrrrrrrs like a kitten

coilovers, dont know how many miles.... but I have put them to the test pretty hard ... ok, really, really hard one time at a cruise meet

....I was soooooo happy with the responsive results

gato, I have 116,700 miles on my '01 ES, and it also drives like a beauty. Believe me, I did have preconceived thoughts of selling my high mileage ES, but this car is just so darn reliable, I can't see myself letting it go at all

For the sake of CL, please don't get rid of your ES; it's a great luxury car that will never quit!

Who are we talking about (rolled fenders)? So the l-sports wouldn't fit the Es w/out rolling fenders huh?

theoretically they could. but get a 19x7.5(smallest those wheels usually come in) with a decent series tire on it and Gato will be happy that he has had his fenders rolled. With my 18x7.5's and a 45series tire i need to have mine done. but since i wont have those wheels on until next April im not even worried about it
