I cannot stand the extra gap on the front of Lexus sports cars!
Yes - bought a set of Swift Springs and only installed the front, rear will most likely not go on.

If later I don't like the settle effect of the Swift springs my next step is to source OEM ISF front strut setup (and weight the difference of just going coilover at that point) but I do not want to change the rear as I'm happy and I fear that going lower will damage my Lexon rear diffuser (which hasn't been installed yet).

I live in Northern California and we have been buried in smoke and ash for weeks. I fell terrible for all the people who lost homes and loved ones. I have stayed off the road for fun drives for several weeks now. One of my favorite areas around Lake Berryessa is totally burned and the roads are filled with fire trucks and work crews like PG&E.

So I put my RCF on its weekly charge from my Optima battery charger. Hoping for better days ahead.

Got my American Racing Header Cat Back Exhaust installed this morning - LOVE IT!!!!!!!

Gives the car a nice exotic sounding V8. Deep but not Mustang like. Just what I wanted. I ordered the full exhaust with resonators. For me - sounds perfect. Could not be happier. I love the round tips as opposed to the OEM ovals.

It really wakes the car up - feels like a different animal.

Yeah....caught that when I uploaded. My wife loves the car but doesn't understand why we (men) upgrade our cars. In her words "The car sounded fine before"....lol

Then she drove it and said "yes, it does sound better"....gotta love her though

That sounds great. Funny I had the same exact experience. I did not tell my wife when I put the Invidia full exhaust on and then took the family for a drive after that. She kept saying "it sounds so different. You need to get the car checked". Eventually, I told her I put on a full exhaust and her reaction was "it sounded so nice the way it came, why did you need to chanage it?" Considering I despise the OEM exhaust, I wanted to rip my hair out at moment LOL

Test fit some Chronos racing parts. Not sold on the little fin/canard things, so may pop those off.

nice! Sounds awesome! Getting my equal lengths installed in the 21st with invidia exhaust as well. Do you notice any drone while cruising at highway speeds?
