Well i finally put the wheels on the GS, i have to admit the Axis Shine's look pretty darn good. Thanks (rexblue) for the great transaction, also Thanks to all the CL community for giving me the lexus bug back lol.
Ok so i took some pics of my rusted suspension components and i ended up wire wheeling them and painting them black.
nice and rusty yumm

I used the duplicolor red caliper paint, part number BCP400
Well its about as low as i really want to go with it, i put the eibach pro kit on it, Michigan roads are terrible, it would be pointless to go any lower it really would.
EDIT: unless i got bags now that would be sweet
