Goshh the car look even lower today after all the driving yesterday. I had 4 other passengers on the car yesterday and they ride pretty well. But I noticed this morning the front and rear sits lower. Its really low now. I hope they don't go any lower. Right now front and rear are tucked inside the fenders. Let me take some photos and post them for you guys.

it's always like that, the suspension will adjust and like yours it got lower which is what happendes all the time with lowering springs. by the way where did you buy your chrome door handles?

No thanks. No spacers. That's too much work, but thanks for the idea. maybe in the future.

GS430V8 - The chrome door handles I got from ebay thru a seller in Japan. I got the doorhandles and chrome trunk garnish thru them. Check this post from them. You can visit their store too.

They're not too bad to installed, you just have to be patient when installing the rears. There should be at least a thread somewhere in here with instructions. The front are really easy. Let me know if I can help.

getindavan - No rubbing issues what so ever. I love how it drive in the highway. Very smooth and without all the floating and I feels like the car is really holding the ground more. Yes they are GS4 DF210s.
I went over a railroad track yesterday at a high speed and I heard a really big noise, I was really scare, but went out and check afterward, but didn't see anything odds . I just not get use to driving carefully at bumps and pot holes yet

have you considered going black pearl or black for ur emblems, those colors look really nice when a black GS has the DIY chrome grill. i met a guy who had it, i was in aw haha the emblem looked good against the grill

I dunno about black chrome. Because most of my little things are chrome, so adding black chrome doesn't looks right. What's everyone else think?
