22s aint that bad after all...

Like i said its just my opinion fellas . . but i gotta question though . . dont you guys lose that nice ride wen your car is drop? and with 20s? i wouldnt want to sacrifice that all. Especially with the 3rd generation coming out soon. It might be hard trying to sell the GS with aftermarket accessories on it.

Go to any site like e46fanatics.com or permaisuri.com and I think it would totally surprise you to see how many big expensive luxury sedans are being dropped to merely inches off the ground. Just because you don't see them doesn't mean people don't do them, bro.

my car is slammed on hks hipermax LS+ coilovers and i love the ride, its 30 way adjustable so i have a lot of control over the ride settings.........i have to say it probably rides about 90% of what it did stock, though i have better handling and id say the looks are 110% better............everyone is entitled to their opinion but id have to say 22's on gs is a dumb look in my opinion, and i sale rims and tires and stereo equipment for a living,,,,,,,,,,on another note and this is just my opinion but i looked at a few of your pictures u loaded and have to question your opinion of rice.......
maybe its time for a mirror check!

wow....dam blu..
wait, I'M riced out. i have a body kit and my car is pretty slammed...but wait i have chrome wheels and 3 tv's so i'm not rice! i'm confused..i guess i'm rice pudding..
to be serious now..how on earth can you say that haveing 20's or 22's! without a drop is cool. its an SUV man not a car at that height. if you think this is going to drop the value of the car than why on earth would lexus sell l-tuned suspention from the dealer and they'll install it if you wish to lower your? i think your confused and think we cut our springs, thats what RICED out honda and rsx people do. why do aftermarket companies sell coilovers sytems that ride better than stock with 100x better handleing? they go for about $1000.00 to start. trust me anywhere you go if you roll up with a stock GS with 20's up high and GS with bodykit ,staggard 20's, dropped rolls up next to you the crowd will flow to them even if u have 10 tv's. its about the look man. thats why its called low profile.
anyway this is my opinion and you are allowed to have yours. you voiced yours and i voiced my thoughts. its all good no matter what. "you my boy blu!!" Old School.

what if you have staggered setup dropped and 10tvs. Adrian.. LOL
seriuosuly tho guys i knnow it would turn into this.. i had a gs3 with 20s and no suspension last year in march.. i will tell you it sompares nothing to my new car. it looks alto DIFFERENT... people come up to me (when i drive the car , which isnt much, only 3 times in december) and is like DAMN... i think you can do alot of things to a car when i had my old gs3 i thought suspension would be DUMB but look at me know... everyoen has their opinions and most opinions change when you are on CL for a long time.
BUT i still think the 22's would look good if they didnt rub and you caould slam it.. but i dont see that happening.

All the vehicle modding education in the world just can't help some folks.
And no, my ride is not very far from stock. And I'm sitting on 19's and Tanabe coilovers, which are supposed to be up there in stiffness. Still rides like it's on glass. The honeys don't complain. Not to mention the fact that they are ADJUSTABLE! Crazy, huh?

Yo in my opinion i liek them. Bottem line is preference. If its your car do what you want. If u liek the ride do it. IN my opinion if i put 22s on and the ride didnt affect my tatse and it didnt rub then fine id do it. But if it rubbed nad made my lexus ride liek a kia then no way. Bottem line is if u like it and dont care botu ride do it its all what you yourself as a person prefers.

Fellas, lets also educate as well as state our opinion. Give examples of why lowering is okay and what cars come with it.
No one explained coilovers yet, that is a great trade-off. Or even an Air Suspension.
For instance some cars, like th Ruf Turbo R are very low and have a new suspension where with a flick of the switch, it raises 2 inches to go over speedbumps.

air suspension
-This isn't a GS, i'm ownly using Din's SC on air suspension as an example.
If you close yours eyes..this is to resemble a GS on 22's
It just doesn't look correct having the 4X4 appearance.
Then, you can also have the "rice" look . A nice drop appearance.

And to ATSOU . . Lowering a lexus is ricey . . brings the value of the car down . . thats just me . . if i wanted to drop a car i would buy a civic, RSX, and whatever cheap coupe is out there. I look @ lexus as one of the top luxury car companies out there . . how many benz's you see dropped? how many jags you see dropped? bimmers? its rare if you do see one. Im not here tryin to offend anyone . . but its just how i feel . . im sure im not the only person here feeling this way.
