*Update on my GS400*
Well I sold my staggered setup and have the chrome 17" for right now. I just finished a complete maintenance top to bottom. All belts, waterpump, seals, thermostat, fluids throughout the car. Ready to roll for another 100k!
As far as mods go I took off my LTuned shocks and Daizen springs and replaced them with Apexi N1 WS Coilovers. Man I love the way these things ride! I also took off the stock exhaust and replaced with a Greddy EVO II catback. I was worried it would be loud but inside I don't notice it unless I floor it. Sounds amazing. I've had so many people stop me and ask me what kind of exhaust I have. A streetbiker pulled up beside me at the light the other day and said "damn what kind of exhaust do you have?!?! That's the best sounding Lexus I've EVER heard!"
As far as little things go I added a set of TorqueMaster sparkplugs, Blitz Hybrid AC filter, and the JDM chrome taillight covers.
Up next is 19's, tint, sways, brakes, intake/ecu, and hopefully the 3.76 LSD.
Here's a couple quick pics I snapped of the setup as it sits:

Are the Apexi coilovers a lot stiffer than the L-tuned set up? I put the L-tuned S/S on and really wish they were a bit stiffer/firmer. Let me know what you think.

bilstein sport shocks are what you want. yes, a lot firmer than the l-tuned shocks.

Thanks guys!
Just getting some ideas and weighing my options on wheels right now.
I don't want to settle. I'd rather wait and get quality parts and do right the first time.
As far as the coils go, I love the setup. It does feel more "firm" than the s/s setup but it soaks up bumps way better. It just feels like a more heavy duty superior product. Very comfortable, but handles excellent when pushed.
Yeah I need some beef on the rears. I already have that problem though with my PI TC!
