I completed a 63 hour detail myself, took me over a week of evenings to complete. All lights were removed, even polished and protected door jams and trunk jams.
  1. Wash
  2. Iron removal from all surfaces
  3. Clay bar
  4. Jescar Correction Compound
  5. Sonax Perfect Finish
  6. Gtechniq Crystal Syrum Light
  7. Gtechniq EXOv2
  8. Wheels decontaminated, cleaned and coated with Gtechniq C5

Thanks. Not swisstrax, but very similar. I cannot remember the brand name at the present moment.

Lowered the front a little, finally, subtle and riding is no different so far but granted I only drove 5 miles so far.

Did you buy a set and only install the front?
what brand you go with?

I cannot stand the extra gap on the front of Lexus sports cars!

If you really want to go with aftermarket springs, get the swift springs since they have spring rates that are stiff enough for good body control on lowered suspension. Stay away from the RSRs.
