Default New Shoes and Stance - Pic Heavy

I guess this is my official reveal. I bought this car about 4 months ago as a daily driver with no real desire to mod right away. I have two other cars that take a lot of my funds, but the mod bug did not stay away long. I have loved this car so far, but hated the 4x4 mode and the factory 17's just looked tiny on such a big car. I decided to remedy those problems as the mod list below shows. A special thanks goes to Derrick at D2 for a great price on the wheels...he is a class act. Feel free to tell me what you think.

Shoes
Donz Montanas
20x8.5 w/Falken FK452 245/35/20
20x10 w/Toyo Proxes T1 275/30/20

Brakes
Painted Calipers w/ Lexus Decals

Stance
Megan LP Coilovers 32 way dampening

Speed
SRT Intake w/fuel ecu

Ice
Sirius Sportster 5
AudioControl LC6i
Kicker ZX700.5 5-channel amp
MB Quart Seperates front
Soundstream rears
Boston Acoustic G5 12" sub

Outside
18% Tint all around
Clear Corners

Nice look with the Montanas. With your c/o's you should drop it a bit more if your roads permit. Also, good taste in cars. I have a black GS and your VR-4's cousin (a pearl white R/T TT. )

I have another 1 1/2 inches on the front and 2 inches out back. We had to raise it three times before we could get it on the alignment rack. Since this is my daily, I am not sure I will drop it too much more. Going to give it a week to see if it settles any.

Thanks for the compliments guys!!!

There is not a sibling rivalry yet, but Ol' Yellar has been spending more time parked as my GS has evolved

After one day with them, I am very happy. I have it three clicks from the softest on front and four on rear. Similar to stock without the floating feeling over bumps.
