I finally picked up some coilovers! I went with some BC Racings from a member on here.
Im very impressed with the quality.
I would get these for my car even If you couldn't adjust the height. The ride quality is great. On the softest settings and 4mm of preload these ride ever so slightly stiffer than stock, I mean so slight that if i didn't drive the car every day than I wouldn't have noticed.
On the stiffest setting that car drives like it is on rails! I didn't realize that coilovers alone could tighten the car up that much without bigger sway bars,bushings etc. I didn't think such a big car could handle so good!!!
So The install was pretty straight forward, figuring out how to remove the rear seat was the biggest pain.
My only complaints are the the rears dont go very low(compared to the front) unless you want to sag your springs, which would affect ride quality(bouncy) so I chose against this. They make an extreme drop version for the rears which I will prob try to get If I can get the front to go lower and still be drive-able.
My rears are at the lowest setting
You can dump the fronts on these to the point where the front wheel is up against the inner fender liner, that wasn't practical for me since this is my daily.


I took out my front "youzealand" style spacers I made since the coilovers lower the car plenty.
The fronts would tuck about 1" of rim with the spacers.

I have no rubbing and no fender mods at this height, the only time i rub is in the front and that's only if I take a really sharp turn up a steep incline to fast.
So the wife can drive the car without destroying it

Anyway here are some pictures sorry they are not the greatest hoping to get better ones and get just a little lower...






Heres the new grill, I think Ill paint it Gloss Black.


I painted my front calipers white to break up the black and put the Lexus decal on. I used Ceramic hi temp engine paint and they are holding up well!


Let me know what you guys think!!
