Default Teasers..sneezers.. Coilovers Done w/ tons of pics

Whatsup yall, I'm kinda late putting up these pics being that this was done this past Sunday, but here we go. Over the weekend Rare1(Carlos) and I installed my HKS coilovers. I def have to give a big shout out and thanks to Carlos for helping me out with this install. Carlos has been helping out a lot of us over the last few weeks, with everything from 4 SRT intake installs to my coils, and his new wheels. So again thanks a lot C' for all the help.

Now to the pics.

Beautiful! I know how much you liked the RM, but nothing's better than a good set of coils!

Looks good. How much better does it drive now that you switch from springs to coilovers?

Here's where I got the decals. http://www.motogfx.com/lexus/

I have a JDM Altezza grill instead of the factory grill.

I love the ride, but I'm still playing with the dampening. I'm probably going to run soft in the front and stiffer in the rear.

Yeah I loved the Road Magnets, but with the new wheels I needed to be able to adjust the height so I could go lower. I might go a lil lower in the front also.

Yup, but I don't want to scrap up anymore ground hogs either.

It drives a lot better. Pretty close to close in feel and response. But I need an alignment badly.

looks good man!!!
I think everyone in NELOC is making moves but me!!

These drop pics always tempt me...
But I cant even think of a drop...I usually go places that have a lot of potholes and when I drive into the city as well as one of my friends' house it is a really Deep decline...I kinda scrape on stock if i go over 2mph...I will DEF break something if I lower and go in the garage... :-(
