Hey everyone on CL forums. I just joined this forum to see if i could get some help on my Lexus ES 3GEN. Just a youngster who's decided this became my beauty. I've had it for about a year now as a 3rd owner. I'd lowering it a bit this weekend with Tanabe springs and gas shock blues. Here's a quick picture of it!

The thing that i noticed, is that are really clean/meticulously maintained car is what turns people's heads.

That's what i do, all i have are rims, and a really clean car always, and people always complement it.

hey, i went on the eibach site and they don't have it for the ES300 98. Are you sure they have it ? I wanted to lower it approximately no tire gap. I just wanted to do like 3 main things to it. wheels which i have my mind set on xxr 962 gold ones. a new front bumper the EVO one. and just lowering it. Is that too much to do to my car?

llcoolpass

the eibach springs are the same ones for all es 300, but in case i'm crazy, wait for confirmation from someone else

youre trying to lower it, but be careful if its appropriate to the road youre on and how much people and things [weight] you have in your car. your car will also accelerate less quickly and require more brake pedal force to stop and will wear out brakes faster or overheat the brakes more easily.

when you get bigger wheels you get smaller tires, but because of the pressures and tire size, effectively, you spring up alittle bit off the ground from it and get a harsher ride. fro mwhat ive seen, 16" is ok reduction in luxry, 17" noticeable reduction, higher becomes nightmare.

I'm currently looking at Tanabe springs. Are those any good? And also what do you guys think about Tokico shocks?
