Default Update on my car!

I just lowered my car on D2 coilovers which i know alot of people say that they don't really like. I'm pretty satisfied with the results though. I tried to go as low as i can but it just rubs so much since i have stock fat tires . Its tire tucking currently and i'm going to roll my fenders tomorrow since i have to do it eventually when i get my wheels. Give me any opinion! good or negative so i can learn from it. Thanks! Sorry it was from my camera phone. Photo doesnt do it much justice. I'll try to get a better picture soon.

you need some wheels though to go with that drop.

Damn bro, thats hella low! I love it! You know how the old saying goes....... and I quote "If you dont drag it, your a faggit" +1 on Rims needed! IMO I wouldnt roll the fenders, I would shave em down. I've read that Lexus fenders tend to be quite thick and are prone to bending if theyre rolled. Thats not from personal experience, you may not have any problems. Good Luck!

seems like your off to a good start, i run D2's also and they can run real low, trust me i dumped mine and was rubbing like crazy on stocks.. i could go lower on mine but my rear rims will start grinding on the spring perch. im running a 10mm spacer with a mild fender roll. im planning on putting a hubcentric 15mm spacer and probably roll my fenders more.. so i can go for a more flush look.. nice ride tho.
