Can you take a pic of your lowered car from the front? I want to see how low your front bumper is from the ground.

Looks great! Can you put more pic's please? I'm considering the Pro-Kit as well.

Was the car before on the normal springs? Or was the Sports Package installed?

thanks.

BEWARE MY FRIEND. I just recently took the springs off my 350 because I had substantial rubbing problems with my 20's.....But if you don't mind excessive rubbing when you are driving, and not being able to put anyone in your back seat, then I guess 20's with the prokit will be for you. I rubbed everytime i went over and kind of bump. It's definitly like having to drive the car like it is a lowrider, instead of a lexus.

What were the offsets of your wheels? Did you try a different Tire size?

I own a car audio store=Store pays for car=car is a demo car=car produces revenue........Thats why I am putting all those things in this car......When I have the product in a demo vehicle it makes it easier to sell these products and mobile video is the hottest thing on the car audio market right now!!!!!!! THat is the reason I am putting the headrest monitors in !!!!!!!

So you own a car stereo store huh. Who put your springs in? And if I decide to put my springs back on, do you know of anyone who can roll the fenders so I don't scrape anymore? I hate being up high again.
