Yea its a Grip Royal set up, I was surprised how awesome it is. I waited a bit to get it since the black center was special order. Maybe if I get enough interest I can do something with them and get some for members on here.

Did you probably rip the abs line when you did the coilovers? I like the look with the style 95's on the car, that is probably what I will be doing soon once I find a deal on some.

I have a buddy trying to sell some pretty decent price but not sure what shipped price would be let me know if you want me to put you in contact with him. Here they are on his car.
last time i talked to him i think he wanted 900 with tires which is decent
i got these looking all new again on my car yesterday, but i dont think an abs line is broke maybe i might have to check. maybe the speed sensor but who knows i think im going to drop it off at lexus and see if they can figure it out so i dont drop money on the thing for no reason along with the check engine light issue

One thing I did notice today after taking my battery off the hook an obviously connecting it back up my check engine light went away but the car was running kind of weird at start up. Its like the check engine light needs to be on so that the car runs good. Thinking about just biting the bullet and taking it to Lexus, I have a buddy that works there could probably help me out.
The other lights stayed on ABS VSC VSC OFF

The fact that it runs weird immediately after the ECU reset (pull the ECU #2 fuse to reset just the ECU without disconnecting the battery to do this manually) leads me to believe your MAF might be going. The MAF is a critical part in the ECU's self-learning system and if that's out of whack, so will be your air/fuel and spark timing. Try disconnecting the MAF entirely, and if the car drives better (solely running air/fuel based off o2 sensors..it's not going to hurt it) you'll know you need to replace your MAF.
This of course is all guesswork since you still haven't taken it to autozone or advance and gotten the codes read FOR FREE dude!
212k is nothing on that, car, some cheap simple stuff and you'll get another 212k easy on her.

Thanks for the advice, I actually replaced the whole MAF assembly about a year ago but of course was a used part. I wonder if this K&N airbox thing the car is running is what makes it do that, my buddy I got the car from said that the check engine light came on after he installed that.
I was wondering if I did the SRT intake kit if that might fix it, but again I suck at cars.

Thanks, yea I just noticed he said "I love you" LOL
I have a feeling something might be wrong with my ECU because every computer we have plugged in this thing gives no code. Anyways not really sweating it. I think it might be gone in Spring and if not well ill just drive it until it blows up. Thing is fine, just gets annoying.

I had this same thing happen to me. turned out to be the speed sensor. But if you are just annoyed with the lights pop the plastic piece of the dash and unscrew it. you can take out the bulbs that are on and then you have no more lights. when i bought my gs those "VSC ABS VSC off" bulbs were pulled because the previous owner did not fix the speed sensor.
