Hey Guys,
Sorry for not posting sooner. I have been three sheets to the wind for the last few days finding out how great it is to be able to drink again and not do a damn thing all day.
I have driven the GS a couple of times (and not while drinking so easy there killa's) and will say it feels great. The ride is not harsh like I was expecting and the car still feels like a Lexus in my opinion. I will take some photos for you guys tomorrow. The way BC did the dampening adjusters is pretty cool. I will update you all more tomorrow I promise.
I really would like to thank BC Racing and Circuit Motorsports for everything they did. More importantly though, I would like to thank all of you who came on board with me to get this done. No matter what BC and Circuit did, without you guys stepping up and going with this, we would have never gotten to this point. Ok, sappy'ness over, back to the jeigermister.

Glad you are back safe man. I got back a week ago and it took me awhile before I got used to life again. I'm going to contact BC tomorrow and get mine shipped also (sorry BC for the slacking ) I'll barely have time to install them and slap on some wheels before I head out again, but hey its a work in progress...

I know exactly what you mean. My wheels aren't hear yet, body kit should be here tomorrow and the fun with the body shops begin. Iraq might not be so bad... Iraqistan (a.k.a. Afghan) will be soon enough. Save me a cot in your tent bro!!!!

thats what i figured.. the way it was explained to me, the vibrations were due to the increased angle/pressure put on the front end drive system by lowering the car.. so i can't see how coilovers would resolve the situation for those that have the vibration issue.. oh well, i'll just have to wait for the GS-F and trade it in or i've been considering driving a truck.. since lex doesn't make one (hint hint.. convert the tundra!) , the new Ford Raptor is looking interesting w/the 400hp version coming.. then the issue will be raising 2in, not lowering

What happened to all of the "post coilover install" feedback that was promised by the original 5+ buyers of this coilover kit? No pics, no feedback on any issues with vibration & their final solutions (raising/lowering the levels, dampening settings, etc) to help others determine if the BCR solution is worth shelling out $1250.
