I like the G35 for its driveability when it's lowered. The front lip has a bit elevation from the ground.

Like my GS with a kit, with mild drop, it's already difficult to drive around town. There are too many driveways my GS just won't be able to go (without scrapping)... As much as I like how your GS looks, it's just too much for me if I have to be so careful entering my own driveway?

TriniGS was one of the inspirations for me. For one before you even get to the car the dude is just chill and cool to talk to and and he tries his best to make any meets/events and support the local Lexus scene. Its funny reading this story and I think its a fantastic thread to see the enthusiasm one has for the Lexus and car game in general (modded G35). I remember many of those events and his GS is always one of the more popular vehicles at the meet. His 3GS looks just incredible in person, a great blend of styles and its classy as heck with sport added.

Great thread dude and I can't wait to see what you have coming.


Trini showed up my spring install and fleisheda took this great pic.

Yeah, KayGee recommended a local place to get some tips and I've been meaning to check it out. Hopefully before the summer ends I can make it out there.

The 30 series does diminish the ride quality compared to stock but its still a comfortable ride unless you drive on mostly bumpy roads. I went with 30 in the back also so I have no experience with riding on 25 series. I only change from 35 to 30 because of the rubbing up front. The ride difference itself remained the same for me.

Thanks Mike appreciate it, especially coming from one of the ole G's who been in the Atlanta Lexus scene from day one and continues to get everyone involved in the SELOC meets. I know u have big plans for the Atlanta Lexus community, you already rejuvenated the scene down here. Hopefully one of these these days we'll give those Florida guys a run for their money.

Great Thread D I may have had the first modded 3rd Gen in SELOC but my car looks downright stock when parked next to yours. Looking forward to your next phase.

I believe it was, I remember when you pulled up at the Starbucks the first time, I was like.

You need to start a thread next lurker though I am worried, you have posted like 3 times in 3 weeks, way over average.

Okay wheels are almost here. Thanks Tong for hooking me up with pictures. Now I just have to purchase tires. They recommend combo 225/30 - 245/30 for it to fit but I'm thinking of going 235/30 - 255/30 which may mean additional fender work ahhhh. I'll test fit them when they arrive and make a decision then.
