The car looks amazing man. I am loving the 285/25 rear tire. I was thinking about it , but my tire guy said to play it safe and do a 255/30 in the front. I will try it out and post in the next few months. Its the summer and in AZ you dont push your tires so they will probably need to be done sooner than later

Looks great and mission accomplished, since you maintained the plush ride. It is a Lexus, a nice luxury sedan.

FWIW, I have the Tanabe DF210 springs and the drop was supposed to be 1.8" front and 1.5" rear and they have settled a good bit lower than that.

If I had to do it over again I would probably go with the NFs, and plan on them settling somewhere near the pre-settle height of the DFs.

This is a 2GS, though.

OP, your car looks great. The Mahoras are some of my favorite wheels

i really like your wheel design....just wish they were more aggressive...like 5mm lower offset front and rear would be way better.... and thats a tiny lip for a 10" wheel ....still like them...jut sayin

i kinda miss my last 2 silver gs's...great color..and always looks clean....black, not so much lol!

did you also upgrade the shocks or you're still using the stocks?

Car looks great!!! Nice job. One word...jealous!

I gotta find the time to do it this summer. I'm kinda sick of looking at the stock height on my car.
