True, I know many people who would give up thier left hand just ot be able to tap the screen and change channels/tracks in front of thier "friends/dates"

My little brother keeps annoying me about not getting the navi everytime we get into the car


It didnt really matter to me, because I've lived in the same town for over 10 years and know every street, plus i like to be able to control everything easily.

I like your car, it looks nice with factory wheels and the drop, I know it rides good with the stock wheels. I also love the nav system, it's like already having one TV.

Looks
With the fender gap reduced, the car looks like it is ready for business.

Yup, it is lowered on stock shocks and the ride is great. If I were to go back, I would have just installed the billstein shocks when I did the drop. I'm thinking these shocks are going to last for another 15-20k.

Did you take any measurments prior to the spring install?

Kinda curious if yours came down evenly. If you have a level surface, would you mind measuring from the ground to top of fender well arch? (This is the measurments I took prior to putting the springs in mine. The amount of gas willl change this but it will give me an idea.)

The more accurate is to measure from the lowest portion of the wheel rim to top of fender well arch but I didn't measure that in mine.

Thanks

Beautiful color and car. Your lucky you got the nav. I personally have the portable Magellan unit that cost 1200 and i have the stock nav in my LS430 i like the stock a little better. Anyways good luck.

Default Awsome car

I have 98 and recently mounted 20" mesh wheels on it. Looks pretty good but its looks like a 4x4 right now because I havent lowered it. I have the H&R springs sitting at my house but dont know anyone shop that I can trust doing the job. Who installed your springs for you?

Here is the link to pics of my car. Hopefull it gives you an idea what it might look like with 20s

I didn't take measurements before and after I lowered it, but from the looks of it, I would say that it lowered at least 1.5".

My rims should be here by friday, if not monday. I got a staggered 20" chrome setup . It better look good haha! I'll post pictures when they are installed.

Thanks for all the great feedback again
