Yeah it's probably a bit high, but like I have said I have 0 interest in having a low rider. I will probably drop all of the coil overs one more turn. Yu think it's high now you should see it with no interior in it. It's sitting really high right now lol.

Lower center of gravity will make it handle better. . . . You should lower it at least an inch, that looks higher than stock. But to each his own I guess, kinda looks like a an off road lex. Also what would be the point of getting coilovers if your not gonna lower your car? To raise it?

I totally agree. I think a slightly lowered look is appealing and I will probably go a bit lower but it's a Lexus and I want it to ride like a lexus, not a Honda civic. I followed what Gixxer-Drew said to a tee. He races cars and on the website he states that his SC is at stock height because that's where it performs the best. So I was wanting to follow that. This is a daily driver. Not a race car or a drifter. Some of these SC's that are lowered look really good. It's just not for me.

I think to have control of the suspension. Just because you have coil overs does not mean you have to lower. My stocks were trash and needed to be replaced. I liked the idea of having bilsteins. It's also nice to have the option of going power should I decide to rather than being stuck in one configuration.

Question for all the fans of this setup..I plan on building this up slowly but obviously can't have my daily driver down while I do this. Is there a part I can buy new to replace the upper hat instead of re-using the older one off the SC. I've searched and noone seems to sell this part ....by iteslf.
