I agree with bluelex, raise the rear up a little bit. If anything, make sure the rear ride height matches the fronts ride height.

From personal experience, I used to have the rear tucked compared to the front and when I floored it, it felt like a spaceship launching. After I raised the rear, the car felt leveled.

yeah i thnk 10k is a pretty good ball park. 6k for the front and 4k for the back. the system does exist for the ls430 and the sc430 though, which means it will fit the gs.

in the coming months im going to try to get the WISE side skirts and rear bumper

i found a WISE front Bumper

but do you have a pic of the ones you have might by for the time being

since the ENDLESS ones will take 4 weeks
Sorry a little off subject,
So you decide to go with the Wise kit? where did you find the Wise front bumper ? Did TTurbo decide to sell his. If youhave not found any one with the sides and rear ( other tnan Steve G.) Try Bozzperformance.They can get the whole kit for almost $2K less than Steve. That was at least a year ago, but it takes for ever to get it 5-6months.

Japanese brakes for a Japanese car lol

well they have a great reputation

i knew i was eventually going to FI so i wanted 6 pot brakes

and their blue

i looked at Brembos.Stoptech,Rotora ,and Wilwood

i heard that rotoras were cheaper made versions of stoptech and im not looking for cheap version of anything having to due with brakes

wilwood i heard werent that great either

and the brembos well whenever i think of them i think of red and it just wouldnt look right

on a blue car

Yea, I'm the one that has it but I only have the sides and rear. I 've waited tooo looong to get this kit to sell it now, but good try .
I was a little nervous in getting a fiber glass front bumper. I've had them on other cars in the past and it seems like no matter how carefull I am , murphy's law always finds me. I felt that at $1450 for the bumper one mistake would not be good . I've thought about maybe getting the front bumper and taking that chance lately.
I think that kit would be awsome on your Blue Lex. But as you know, a lot of members don't really care for it . Just my $.02
