Looks great. The LS brakes give a real nice touch.

That looks sick man! I wanted a set of the chrome IS wheels but I ended up with silver. You basically have the red version of my car. Were the LS brakes expensive and did you have any clearance issues?

Thanks, I bet you could get yours chromed for not too much $$. I got Calipers for $170, Rotors for $100, pads for $30, and SS Lines for $80. It just barely clears in the front, but thats all that matters. Definitely is a great mod, braking difference is night and day. Also SS brake lines are a must have even though they are a PITA to install. I drove it with stock rubber lines for about a month before upgrading the lines and ss give a much better feel.

It looks like you have more fender gap than stock.

The coils will make the car look awesome.

I'll look into getting them chromed. I want to get the LS400 brake kit soon since the stock ones aren't that great. They look good on your car too. I can't wait to see it lowered!

My SC looks exactly like that. The fender gap up front is ridiculous. My rear looked lowered but the front was super high! I'm not sure why that happens though.
