Default New BCRS/MEGAN/SPC Set up

Whats up fellow CL, just wanted to share some pix of my new set up i fell into. First i want to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to Tristan from Circuit Motorsports for helping me out with my decision making and set up and steering me the right way. So basically my set up is BCRS Coilovers, Megan rear camber arms and toe arms, front SPC IS300 ball joints (had to custom and cut down my A Brace). If you guys want to know exactly what i did for a drop, all i did was slap on the rears and moved the fronts 3 threads up... and what i ended up with was a hella sick of a drop tucking tires front and back.

I only had my 08 IS250 for a month and i did the suspension and blacked out my grille and rear emblems. so wanted to see where i stand so i entered a carshow over here in Tampa, Fl. held by NOS & Ultra evolution it was a nice big turn out and they had a lexus class so i figured i try and ended up with 2nd Place for best Lexus. here some pix of the car with its set up and my trophy ... comments and opinions are all welcomed. ~GHOST~

Did you do the install yourself? How do you feel about the fitment of the is300 ball joints? I've read on here that the taper is too small for the hole in the spindle and will probably cause issues down the road...
