Can I TINY drop it for a TINY ammount of $$. If you look at the other pics you will see a Land Cruiser in the back ground that needs money too. Gears, Lift, 35's. I like the way it rides now and don't want to sacrifice that.

yeh I know, money is always the major thing, but just saying like .5 drop would set it off beautifully... sadly theres no such thing as quality and cheap when it comes to suspension it looks beautiful though...

Thanks, I think all I need are some exhaust tips to finish off the muffler delete and some 30% tint.

buy some H&Rs or a used set of eibachs, 1-1.25" drop all the way around for <$300, plus you wouldnt need new shocks if your old ones are in half-decent shape.

1.5 inch drop would be too much... .5-1 max for a super clean look that wont look ricerish

Gotch ya, Yea I really like the way it looks now. I did notice this morning on the drive to work I felt a bit more of road bumps with the lower profile tires compaired to the old 16's. Also I have noticed a few of the LS430s with the rims and I like it better on the 400 and it also looks better against the dark color with the hyper silver than a lighter color car.
