Default I Lowered It .. Now Tell Me What You Think

Well after 6 months of ownership I finaly got my hands on a decent spring shock set up ASD/KYB and I am pretty happy with it I would Like to thank 94_Soarer for hooking me up with the KYB shocks and VipBoss for the ASD springs (I built it on CL LoL) Well here are some pics....


Here she is in the before stages 2pm..




here is the differance from the stock spring to the ASD (front)...


doin the dirty work...


Finishing up....





And now the drop 5pm.....




This is only moments after i finished I know the springs are going to settle a bit so I am hopeing that Indecent SC will shoot my car (i'm not that great at pic taking) in a few weeks than I can post up some real nice pics... But now I'm off to get an alignment so i'll post more pics later... let me know what you guys think I would appreciate it positive or negative

Getting and alignment at Lexus of Pines at 8pm =)

The sizes are 18x8 +45 front and 18x8.5 +50 from the ISx50. They look nice. Do you have spacers for them yet? The Espelir ASDs are for the sc struts only.

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys ... I plan on getting some Daizen bushings and sway bars i also got a strut bar on the way thanks to ifrers i am going to get some 15mm spacers for the rear and a 10mm for the front when i get the bushings.. What do you guys think i should do next i wanna do so many things just dont know what to do... I am currently working on painting my chrome trims and emblems to black chrome using some polycarb paint and smoking my tails so i'll post up when thats done
