So you are the one that bought the blue one off cl. Looked like a clean car! Welcome to the lexus crew! You will enjoy it as long as some minor issues are resolved. Id recommend getting the car up on a lift and going through the suspension. We have alot of customers coming into our shop with gs's and have been amazed at what a few small fixes underneath the car can do. Id recommend lower ball joints, outer tie rods, and possible lower control arms depending on the condition. Im very experienced with toyotas, and am building my gs currently as well. If you ever need anything, you can stop on by. Im even more so experienced in the 2jz field as well. Any questions, or anything needed just let us/me know!

Thanks guys ... Good to be back and love the reliability of the Lexus compared to my Benz ... But I have to start working on motor because this gs is just not fast enough for me it doesn't have the pick-up that my CL had, but it should hopefully get there soon

I thought those wheels looked hideous, but judging by the portion I can see in the last picture, they look bad ***! I like 5 spoke wheels, but the black with the stripes going down looked horrible. Amazing what a color change can do. Do you have a better angle of wheels?

Friend just got a 05 CL65, if you want to talk to him about it. One screaming ride. You need an LFA to keep up with it....
Pics? I've been on the fence about getting a CL55 for the last couple of months, but I have no desire to deal with the suspension issues... if someone made a readily available retrofit/conversion to coil-overs, I would have probably already picked up one...
Did you have ABC issues with your CL?
