I bought Tanabe springs a while ago then decided to not use them....until I took the GS to a gathering last nite and saw all the other lowered cars sitting next to my car. I looked like it was on stilts. Today, I put those bad boys on. Here's a few pics.

Thanks guys. What's amazing to me is it has slightly improved handling, a great looks and it still rides comfy like stock. The NF210's are just what they were advertized to be. The car looks even better in person...and it's getting even more attention. Can't wait to take some better pics.

Well, it passed the tests and she has no complaints. I told her it would be slightly rougher but the NF210's exceeded the expectation. She wants the car to look good but she acknowledges this was mainly for me. She's right, I couldn't stand to drive it looking jacked up. Now, I feel like it's mine , too.
If you're thinking about it, take my word for it, the Tanabe's leave the car feeling like a Lexus.

"My Wife would kill me if I told her I wanted to lower my GS (HA)."
My wife feels exactly the same and I really am not crazy about lowering it because of the roads here in nj.I am going to try something different when I find the 18" rims i want.

I've been on the fence with this one for the last 2-3 month. No problem with a wife, she trusts my judgement. I'm just second guessing my Jersey commute as well, roads are too rough - we got a pothole heaven
Most of my friends with wheels bigger than 17" have lots of scratches, and the one with lowered suspensions only drive their cars in a good weather...

Thanks guys.
The install was done at a shop called Larry's Tire on Powerline Rd in Ft Laud. The cost to install was $300...of which $69 was for allignment. I don't trust anyones allignment except the guys at JMLexus so it's gonna cost another $100 when I take it to them.
