thanks alot guys, really appreciate the feedback. I just finished painting the calipers and slappin on the white lexus decal. Ill post some pics later tonight.

johnnie-ive been looking at some wheel spacers, but have read about them putting alot of stress on the suspension. heard some stories of vibration at high speed and wearing out the wheel bearings really fast. Have you guys heard of this? I want to slam it with some megans or f sport springs, what do you think? The shop is in walnut, CA. Out towards pomona, bout 20 miles east of LA.
