Lexus Build Thread

Thanks Vincent123.. I can't wait to get the wheels on myself, they won't be ready until mid to late Feb. On tuesday I having some work done on the car and will post pictures accordingly. It is something I was torn about doing, but have done it for another reason than the norm.
So, stay tuned

The wheels were in sooner than I thought, as I was expecting mid March. I oddly enough booked a appointment with Dale's alignment to get the car lowered as I grew tired of having the coilovers under my couch. This will be the last update before I put the wheel on the car. Thought I would share before all the other bits get sorted

It is only a tease since I can't seem to get all the bits at once. Besides, nobody wants to see everything all at once
Also, thank you all for the compliments.
The height of my new wheels with tires is 27inches, I can still go lower as I went conservative until I get the fender work sorted (also need the coils to settle a bit), which will be early next week. The current height of the fenders is at 26inches, the height of the wheels where the lip ends and the sidewall starts is 24inches. That means I should be getting tuck even before I drop it further.
The handling of the Tanabe Sustec Pro S-0C is very firm, yet still offers great ride quality. No body roll as I tried to force it, weight transfer from aft to fore had been greatly reduced. The rear end feels a bit loose now around corners, but that is alright with me as the factory sway bars adjustable.
I'll should hopefully be coming to a close with this build, well, for the most part that is.
