So I bought an 07 GS350 GFM for my wife about a month ago. She absolutely loves this car. I decided to put some mods on, nothing too aggressive because she loves the car as is.
1) Wheels/Tires - 20x8.5/10 MRR GT1, Yoko S. Drive 245/35 & 275/30
2) Springs - Tanabe NF210
3) Exhaust - Tanabe Medallion Touring
Had all this put on this weekend. Brought it home and wife gave me the "it looks nice, but i can't believe you just spent that much money on it!" We went out for a drive and she absolutely HATES the ride. Doh!![Egads!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/pat.gif)
She was complaining the whole time, "the ride is bumpy, i loved the stock ride, feels like a honda/toyota not a luxury car any more" She is right in some respects. The ride is definitely stiffer. I got the NF210 because it claimed only 5% increase in stiffness over stock. But combined with little meat on the tires, it definitely doesn't feel stock. I can deal with it but she's giving a whole lot of ***** about it.
I am trying to decide what to do. Either sell everything except the exhaust and eat the loss, or deal with her complaints for a week or 2 and hope they subside (doubt it). Oh well, just thought I'd vent a bit. Me personally, I LOVE IT! hahaha

Give it a few days for your wife to come around before you take the wheels off. Don't say anything. Let her complain but just wait a few days.
