I dont know what to do guys, should I
A. Get some nice rims first or
B. Get new tires, intake, exhaust, suspension?

Thanks for any input.

 

RIMS...you have a Lexus that looks like any Mrs. Smith's right now.

That's my opinion.

And it's summer...sun blingin off the lip.

I'm ordering manana hopefully.

 

Springs first, then when you get used to the way a lowered car drives, then RIMS

Then you go performance parts.

After all, you can't race all the time but you CAN look GOOD all the time

 

Ok thanks for the input...which springs and shocks should i get? im thinking of getting either 19 or 20's. I dont want to rub at all.

 

Personally, I think Eibachs are sufficient with an inch and a quarter drop. I've had coilovers on my car before and well, I dropped back down to stock shocks and eibachs and they suite *ME* just fine. I don't race or corner and don't need any of that other stuff.

FYI, I've had COILOVERS AND 20"s on my car and now I just have 18"s and EIBACHS and I'm just as happy. (although they don't look AS good)

IMO, get the eibachs and put them on and see if you like em first. If you don't dump em , they'll sell quick. If you do, you just saved yourself over a grand in what you would've spent for shocks/springs.

Just ask yourself... Are you in it for the looks or performance? I'm strictly looks and don't car much so that's why I went the route I did. My last 2 cars were a 911 SC and a Stage 3 Accord and IMHO, my lex the way it is drives the best daily.

I suggest LTuned shocks and springs because they ride close to stock and they're warrantied by LEX

 

Ok ill get l-tuned susp. Where can i get these for the cheapest?

 

you can get them pretty much anywhere and the best prices have usually been through Steve Ganz but personally I"d get it from the dealer just cuz if theyre's any problem, they'll take care of you (Steve will too - he's great but Steve's in LA and you're in Washington). No matter what, install at the dealer IMO, I know it's about 200-300 more but hey, that's just me. I don't want the hassle AND I dont' want any probs that a dealer can say was an "indirect" result of not getting it installed at the dealer...

Or, you could buy it from steve and get it installed at the dealer if you can wait a bit and save some $$$ on tax (but you might pay the same in shipping so go figure and do research first)

 

I agree do research first.......Thats what I did!

 

JYOO, if your planning on a bodykit in the future I wouldnt go with anything lower than1.25" especially here in washington. I have the L-tuned setup and man Im scrapping and bottoming out all over the place, the roads here suck. Dude I cant even go to the 711 without scrapping . As for rims if this is your daily driver I wouldn't go over 19" rims, especially if you go to first ave in seattle, you will surely bend a rims there.
