Updated Pics - 225mm springs on CS-T
As some may know I purchased shorter front springs (225mm) for my Tein CS-T. The ride did get harsher from before. I'm running the 225mm's maxed out right now and over some bumps my control arms are hitting the inside fender. I think I'm going to cut a hole on the strut tower like in Chrispy's thread. Prior to installing the spacers in the front it was lower, but now it seems to have raised the front a little.
A few other minor mods are Kics project spacers in the rear 25mm and TCsportline 15mm spacers out front. The 15mm's out front seem a little weak, I might have to swap them out for some 20mm's. I also slapped on an Aristo badge that I black pearled myself. Last but not least I polished the front calipers. Let me know what you guys think...

looks clean!
curious though, about how much you have spent on the coilovers, etc to get the slam you're at now. do you plan to get wheels?
never got the whole badging of Lexus + Aristo
, why not remove the Lexus and 'L' ? either way, your car looks clean and slammed well. just wondering if you could've achieved that slam with tein ss or flex, with less headache and possible less $$$?
last but not least, i was just talking to another CL'er yesterday about a roof spoiler combo with oem spoiler.

Thanks for all the kind words guys! I dying for a set of wheels right now.
4ntvings - I left the Lexus w/ Aristo b/c I don't like it when its complete debadged, it just seems like its missing something. I kept my CS-T b/c my girl bought them for me and I don't want to sell it b/c of that. So I just worked with what I had and picking up the shorter springs only costed me $109.
Crispy - I'm only on shorter springs for the front. I'm just going to keep the old springs not worth selling them and I don't think there is a demand for it anyway. I might pick up springs for the rear to tuck them a little.
Greyblitz - none of those are going on my car. They are for my boys 240...I was at his shop and thought I would snap a few pics of them.
Ay-nako - I sprayed that JDM tint spray on it. You know that can with the translucent rounded cap that comes in yellow, red, orange and tint? Then I sprayed some clear on it.
