ok people just got them installed sorry for all the delays but i wont have pics until tomorrow after i replace my bubble front tire. dam i hate these dunlops but oh well will be upgrading next month. so far i love the ride. only thing is im not confident with the installation from the shop around my house. the guy who installed them didn't even know which is for rear or front springs and he didn't even know wat side is on the top or bottom. im gonna check with my friend this weekend to see if anything bad is done but will post pics tomorrow.

almost same as mine,
front
rear

Evil Teo, don't worry about the dropping, i felt the same way too, but once my 19" wheels are on, the drops are perfect! i will post new pictures for my new rims. and you will see.

im more worried about my safety actually. like i said the guy didn't know which side was up and bottom of the spring and he got it wrong as well when his manager came out. i will do a checkup on it this weekend at my friend's shop. i would have gotten him to do it but too far and was busy that weekend. plus he is doin my front lip so i didn't want him do both. can't wait for my new shoes just order the tpms.

It states in the Eibach direction which is up and down, and also, it says "Eibach" on the springs, so right side up is the same way the words are written. That guy who installed them must be a real moron. He should probably stick to oil changes.

looks like that is my last time goin there. anyways back on topic the springs feel good. its a bit more firm also i have those dam magnet dunlops on. dont know why lexus would choose these kind of tires to put on a lexus. they must be tryin to save some money this way. will upgrade to yokohamas soon and some tsw rims.

Here are the pictures with 19" rims
you guys don't like dunlops? but they are expensive, last time one of my stock tires got broken, and i bought the same one from firestone, it was like 4xx per tire. so i don't think they are trying to save money...
anyway, i hope you guys will like my rims and the drops.

i think u got ripped from firestone hope u got warranty. love the new rims. the dunlops are $155 from tirerack. i got it 185 shipped nextday. the stealership tried to charge me 400 for the tire alone not the labor and he said labor would be like 100-200 depending on how long it takes. might i add then if any does intend to drop their car. i would recommend gettin new tires as well if ur not gettin rims and tires. im now actually doin some light moddin again but will focus on the lip and shoes now. might i add that i don't hear the infamous clunk noise in the back goin over speed bumps or humps. i used the tein silencer rubber. i used 5 packs=10 rubber rings. i used 5 rings on each rear spring.

i don't know, it was like year and half year ago. anyway, i got new rims and tires, so nothing to worry about yet, i still need to do the aillment check on friday, they said need to do it a week after change the springs, and my car is going right side all the time =__=....
for my springs, i don't have the clunk noise problem, so i don't know.
may i ask what is shoes?
im planning to get the wing lip all around in about 2-3 months....man those are so expensive...!

shoes is a term we use for new rims and tires. i never heard of the wing lip but im sure it will look nice regardless of wat u put on. just make sure the color matches. if u r gettin the ings might i suggest gettin a replica from nextmod. its like 500 something for the whole lip. oh i wanted to ask you this, did u do the illuminated scuff plates for your car?
