thanks man. I cant take too much credit for the car. the last guy picked the rims out and what not. Im just perfecting it. When i bout it the fenders had issues and rims didnt tuck when i dropped it. I pulled them a few Mil and have some adjustable cambe kit on the way so it drops to the ground.

New Member 3rd Gen GS 350
Hi all, I'm a new 3rd Gen Lexus GS 350 RWD Owner (2008). I purchased the car about 2 months ago. The car came with F-sport air intake, exhaust and lowering springs. it also came with staggered 20 inch Vossen VVS CV1. The car is dark grey with a light grey interior. it has the Mark Levinson sound system with nav. also has a spoiler ( I think it comes stock)
Just had a unfortunate accident with a unmarked gap of road construction. I'm in the process of getting a new set of wheels and suspension. thinking of going k sport air suspension and Rotiform wheels. I'm also looking into a body kit and putting my sound system (double din kenwood deck, JBL amps, focal speakers and subs (2x12). I didn't find much on how to go about the system install. Will be seeking out local car audio specialists soon for that.
Any suggestions on suspension, wheel specs, fender rolling/shaving and stereo are welcome.
I'm in the Ottawa, Ontario, Canada area. I'll post pics of the car pre-accident.
and pics after I get the car back on the road.
thanks,
lacroixx

Hi Soltez, pics are not worth posting...not much visible damage. fender took a small hit, front headlight broke and all 4 wheels got bent. Paid 22k for it.

Just got my 2006 GS430 less than a month ago, 3 weeks after driving it around, figured to tint and lower the car with tanabe df210.
First pic shows my car on DF210s just 30 mins after install. Second pic shows after it has been settled in. Other than the tint given to the car, i've already got rims for it already at home from my previous ride which was a G35 coupe. Offsets on G/Zs are pretty slightly aggressive with +22s on the GS, after some homework and search to see if I can make it fit, I will most likely shave the rears and roll the fronts.
It'll be sittin' on 19" Volk CE28N time attacks, i'm not a VIP guy so we'll see how it'll look, just need to replace the rears with 265/30/19 tires. Other than that... stay tune.

2007 Lexus GS350
Dark grey mica exterior, Black interior. Purchased at 106k miles. 18" chrome wheels. K&N typhoon CAI. Rear Hawk HPS brake pads with new OEM rotors. Please give any suggestions for front pads if you know of anything that is comparable to the HAWKs.
BTW my front brakes are squeaking like all hell with moderate pressure. The pads are "green stuff" with 90% left on them, so is there anything I can do to fix this issue?! The rotors still have plenty of life left in them as well...
Just purchased July 26th, 2014.<br/>K&N CAI
1999 Lexus GS300<br/>Deceased @206k miles due to an accident. <br/>Best first car EVER.
