Default New Wheels Staggered 19/20 MRR GT1!!!

I love the new wheels. It needs to be lowered but I do not want to kill the ride. Vibed up a few pics. I am very impressed with those wheels.

ROFL... taken out of context BUT i stand by my words.

put on some eibach 250 springs (not fsport) and it will actually IMPROVE your ride due to the progressive nature of the springs.

nice choice in rims and gotta love the MR color

Default Springs

Do you have a part number on those springs? Where to buy?

I like the VVTI sticker, it is not like it is "not true". Something to set it off from the crowd. Makes it different than the one setting next to it.
NEXT BREMBO BRAKE COVERS. That is a Joke. I like it. I guess I am going to lower it. THANKS GUYS. I just ordered my GT500KR, the wife is not going to be happy, if I spend more on the Lexus. I have had the car oh about 10 days. It will keep the miles off my baby and do the job. I did not think I was going to like the staggered look, but i do. Hyundai also got my Genesis Coupe in, so the wife is getting it. I will get to drive it in 8 days. They say it is BAD.

eibach springs part number? umm just call up your local modding shop and tell them you want eibach is250 springs, if you dont have a local mod shop, goto your local regional board here in CL and ask who in your 'local area' ppl recomend.

I have mechanics that work for me. But is there a specific spring I need? I want this car to drive good, not just look good. If lowering it is going to affect the ride then I think I will skip it. ?? I like the look but I am OLD according to my kids and I want comfort also.


Revised: I own a power-sports business, and my mechanics can put it in. But I want a kit that will ride good!!!!!
