[QUOTE=aido;4285629]Well I finally got around to giving the car a full maching polish and three coats of wax, looks pretty good now





Your a lucky man, to have a RHD I wish I did.

But I notice that your lexus emblem is crocket. But all and all is B-E-Autiful.

They ride fantastically on the roads over here, you know you've got coilovers on but so far everyone who has been in the car didn't immediately notice they were upgraded over stock until I either hit a pothole or really started chucking it around some corners - I went for a test drive last night and noticed it's carrying about 20-30mph more through some of the corners with no drama!

Which site are you doing the group buy on - looking at your location I'm guessing you're in Birmingham UK which is right on their doorstep

Thanks for the other comments guys, the Toyota emblem for the trunk turned up yesterday so I put that on - need to go and see if it held on as I did a couple of hundred miles yesterday afterwards!

To be fair I've not tried lowering it any more but I had a look and there appears to be at least two or three inches of thread to lower it down more on the damper!

There's only Lam's car that I know of with these on (Phil Morrison's old JZS161) and that is in this thread:

Actually I never knew this until I read this thread just now but the Stance coilovers are rebranded HSDs and they get very good reviews over here and are renowned for their ability to slam a car
