Finally Installed coilovers and wheels
#46
I took the car to NTB over in Martin City. It's located right at about 135th and State Line Road. The service tech's name was Ryan Gash. He was great and treated the car as if it were his own. The price was reasonable. They charged me $430 to do the coilovers, put on the wheels, and align the car. If you need any further information, please PM me and I can provide their contact information.

I would raise the rear slightly, keep the front where it is. You don't even have anyone in the car yet and the rear is dumped Imagine when you get some passengers in there! Just my .02 From one saddle member to another, your car looks great overall. My car is stock right now, but thank you for the motivation

The front can go down another 1 - 1.5" I'd be rubbing horribly at that point though. As far as the ride quality, it is good. I have it set fairly stiff. I'll probably soften it up when I raise up the rear. I believe they are 30 way adjustable on the dampening. I have it about 5 clicks off of fully stiff.
Thanks for the compliments guys. The more and more I look at the car now, I realize how badly I need to smoke the front sidemarkers and clear the headlight turn signals. I'm also thinking a UGO roof spoiler would flow nicely with the sport design rear lip spoiler.
If anyone has any opinions on a few subtle mods that would set the car off even more, please feel free to share them.

Yes, I've been scraping the plastic splitter on the front when I go over dips on the highway and around town. It makes me cringe when I hear it but, I know it's only plastic down there, so no worries!

This weekend has been a very productive one for me. I received my wheels from Derrick @ D2 on friday. They look even better in real life. The specs on the wheels are: DONZ Bugsy 20 x 9 and 20 x 10. The tires are Falken FK452 245/30 and 275/30. The rears have a nice stretch to them and look great. I also had my coilovers installed. They are K-Sports purchased from MVPmotorsports. I am very very happy with these coilovers. I couldn't find any reviews on the site about them, so I was a little suspicious as to their quality. I've read about them on other enthusiast sites and heard nothing but good reviews, so I went ahead and purchased them. I think the car is looking great but, I'm a little biased! I'll let the pictures do the talking for me....
Hey Drew, 4 pages in just over a day huh?? I guess your "feelin' the love" huh?
The car looks really nice. Its usually soooo hard to get people to challenge the old norms, and I've been trying to get people to understand that 245/35 is NOT the way to go if your slamming the car, thanks for helping me emphasize that point!!
We truly appreciate your business, and I'll ensure your pics are loaded by the webmaster to the Lexus gallery, ASAP!
Thanks again and enjoy the wheels!!

im not sure if its the case with the D2 setup, but you might want to consider raising the rear just a tad. i know you bought the suspension new so they might settle in a few days, so the car is going to sit a bit lower...
