Warning
Please exercise extreme caution....when getting into a car driven by Ed (lexforlife). A few of us went for a ride with Ed yesterday. Have you ever ridden the Space Mountain roller coaster at DisneyWorld. That's how I felt. My head and stomach were left somewhere on the road.
Seriously though, Ed was trying to show us what it feels like to be him. Riding around in a GS that has nice suspension and brake mods. I didn't believe extensive suspension and brake mods made that much of a difference. I left knowing that even a car as big and tall as a GS can be made to handle like a bimmer. Actually better than a bimmer because it still felt like a Lexus.
My wallet just got lighter.

thanks john and reg but reggie , it was done specifically for you bro , just wanted to show you first hand how a balanced set up could feel with 4 over 200lb guys in the car ding around 120 or so in and out of traffic (safely of course) .. balance is the key to control and with the bracing and sways and proper springs (or coilovers) and most important proper dampers (which is why thanks to davegs ) i chose bilstein sports to keep it all under control..
if you really want to see aggressive , ride with me in the heat of battle up against unsuspecting 5 series 3 series 350z 's etc etc ,, they all seem to think all we do is throw rims on maybe some body enhancements but our lexmobiles can be made to not only handle like a german car but even better as reg stated because it can be also smooth and not beat you up harsh..
reggie , bro if you want our help and with install , lexforlife garage is always open for ya bro
one love

Good job Ed! Way to represent well!
I bet it'll be interesting to see if we ever meet and line up on the way home....LOL! It could be like a repeat of you and Al on the way to the car show.
