I think that looks great! I still ponder lowering mine, and there was a time (not that long ago) where I'd scoff at the idea of NOT lowering my car. But after having been spoiled now for several years of stress-free stock height driving, I am not keen on reentering the world of terrified and restricted maneuvering when it comes to potholes, speedbumps, car washes, etc.

To summarize, this is all you applied?:
  • Megan Racing MR-LS-LGS06 springs for a GS300/350/430/460
  • Megan Roll Centre Adjusters - MRS-LX-0351
You mention, "a strut tower brace." Was this also an aftermarket addition?

In stock form it is luxurious to be able to drive on any roads without much concern for potholes, i agree.

As far as ride height, yes.

I had a Megan strut tower brace from before- I believe its the MR-SB-LI06FU-1P. No effect on ride height but I felt like the battery between the rear struts adds some rigidity to thr back that was lacking in the front, so it helped to balance that out.

Wow that is low for springs, are the stock shocks still in place and does it bottom out quickly over speed bumps etc..?

I don't know, I think it looks awesome with the current wheels. 20s almost always look too big to me. And those will raise the car up, too.
