MatterGS, Car looks good. Glad to hear you worked out all the snags with the install. Its not always easy to do-it-yourself but it pays off in the end. Sounds like you will have some wheels ready to put on in the next few days too. Post some pics when you get the wheels on. And just to be on the safe side do like 1 1/2 coils I swear it will change your life man. DO IT!! The clouds will part and GOD's glorious hand will descend from heaven gently pressing your lovely lady lexus a little closer to the ground and your entire state will have a 65% chance of wetter panties in the forecast, the handicapped will leap from their wheelchairs and shout "I CAN WALK!!" The blind will see, wars, hunger,poverty will all end.....

Just think about it.
lol

Funny, this is pretty much a TECH section. NOT OFF TOPIC.

People come to these to get information, not to read when you're "joking".

How is the OP supposed to know you're kidding unless someone calls you out?

I may be "new" to this forum, but have been a member of other forums for over a decade, and it rubs me the wrong way when someone is "kidding" about doing BS mods.

Just think about it......

Looks good. Leave it as is. Once your wheels are on itll be perfect. Dont cut the springs and not everyone wants to be stanced, slammed, dropped to the ground. My car has a conservative drop as my wife drives it and i have kids. Yet it still looks great

got the rims put on today, but it is pouring out so the pics will have to wait. I think it will be perfect for my daily driver. For some reason now my rear rotor makes a horrible sound like the brake pad or the dust cover is rubbing against the rotor while driving. If i hit brakes it kinda goes away. I will do more inspecting later.
