stock wheels - tanabe drop
Heres some pix of my ride dropped ~ 2 in. on tanabes. I also replaced the shocks with GR-2s. I've had the set up on for a little over a month and so far so good. Since i'm still on stock 16's, the ride quality is still very good.

thanks for the complements. i think the ride looks a lot better w/o the huge wheel gap but now i think it looks a little funny with the small wheels. 
madAsian -> i got the springs from one of the sponsers here TMengineering (great service) and it came out to $230 shipped. U may be interested in also upgrading your shocks too as I did but when i was researching the springs, i PMed one of the other members hotmachine who also has the springs (but didnt replace the shocks) and he said his ride was still good
there was mixed reviews on Intrax springs and the Eibach's didnt drop the car enough so i chose to go with the Tanabe's. obviously, these arent as good as coilvers but it is a cheaper alternative to those interested in a nice drop w/o sacraficing ride quality.

I'll look there..thanks. It's kinda crazy though. Even with places like Tirerack.com and photoshopping them onto a pic of your ride...you still gotta take that plunge at some point and just pick one....make me nervous...thank God for these forums and seeing what other people did with their lex...def helps....

Nice drop. How is the ride compare to stock? When I get my GS I will get some 18" wheels for daily comfort and a light drop (Eibach springs, KYB shocks), again for daily comfort. I may go with tanabe if the ride still good.
