I've decided on Tanabe's to lower the car. I originally wanted the DF112.
spring rates Front/Rear
4.7 / 6.1
Down Data Front/Rear
2.0 / 1.8
im a little worried that this might be too much of a drop. im ok with rubbing when going over speed bumps, but if it rubs ALL the time i cant handle that. im waiting for confirmation from another forum member who also has Tanabes but slightly less of a drop.
found a local shop that will do the mod for 250.
the springs cost about 250. so thats a total of 500. does this price sound reasonable?

No matter what spring you go with you should ideally be using a 245/30 to avoid rubbing. Another way is to use a slightly more conservative spring like the tanabe nf210 or even milder the tein h techs.

most modern wheels have to have the tpms bec its now mandated by the feds . all car have to have tpms. If they dont they can use adapters easily. My asantis needed adapters . BEWARE OF ASANTI QUALITY. I had a nightmare experience with them.

I am surprised that no one has post any of the Lexus Japan JDM body package picture up here yet, I would really love to see that thing in action because i am really thinking of getting them.

Updated pics with HRE 20's
It's been awhile since I updated my pics, went from 19 to 20's HRE 841R's. Sorry for the crappy pics but with my camera skills, this is the best I can do.

GS 350 Exhaust
I just got a GS 350 and put some real nice 20" Wheels, added dual DVD's in the back and Sirius which they were able to run through the antenna on the roof. I was wondering if anyone know of a nice exhaust system that is chromed with nice outlets that maybe are a little deeper in tone then the stock ones but not too loud when hitting the gas.
