you got the Teas system ? why ? it already rides really good I doubt any TEAS adjustments will make much of a difference.
mind as well run the plumbing for Air Suspension if your gonnna do it for the TEAS system.

Thanks for the support and compliments guys. Just ordered the TEAS system for the car as well. Works with the Tanabe Coilovers to adjust the dampening on the fly for a little better ride at different speeds. I should have the fender on in a few weeks, so I will let you know how that works out. My friend at the dealership where I work is the S*#t and really works his magic on all my cars, pulled the fender back in until I can get it into the shop at the beginning of August. He has done I think like 7 or 8 cars for me. Big shout to Brian at Lexus of Austin...

did you have to run spacers in the front to clear the calipers?
the standard MRR wheel size shouldn't have cause the wheel/tires to stick out enough to snip your fenders like that.

Well I have a baby with another on the way and thought that a little extra dampening couldn't hurt. It doesn't adjust the height at all just the dampening at different springs. No spacers at all, just bolted it on and lowered it a little too much. I have had 3 other Lexus' and lowered them all, just a different wheels setup with the LS. It sits a little farther back in the wheel well so that it can have such a tight turning radius, so your wheel is not exactly under dead center apex of the fender like most of my other cars. So turning in somewhere, hitting a bump and then having the wheel come up gives it that little bit of a pop up. Not to worry, buying the Eastwood Fender Roller and taking cars of that problem soon. I work for a dealer so that helps in parts replacement...

Wow! That fender got yanked a little. I like the rims style you have. It matches your car very nice. What was your offset for your rims and size? Maybe too close? Hate those put holes....It's like land mines on the road...Do you have a pothole hotline where you can callin and claim your damage if it did damage to your car? I think we have that in Hawaii and you would have to file a claim and also take pictures of the pot hole with date and time and location. You may recover some of your losses.
