luxury motorworks in monrovia. chances are if you go there you will have a mini meet with club lexus or is300.net members. haha

the owner is a certified lexus master tech, and his employees are lexus techs as well.

you get the same free drinks and snacks as the dealer, better pricing, ps2 to play, and you can hang out in the garage area and watch your car being worked on!

I installed Eibach Pro Kit with Bilstein HD struts into the LS. The ride has firmed up yet is still quite comfortable. In the GS, I dunno. Give them both a call and see who you feel comfortable with.

William, nice to see you on the forums. It's Leo from Lexuspros. Sprewell does a nice job dropping cars and if they're too expensive, you can just go across the street to Impex. Lowering your GS is a simple job anyways, you should just stay close to home, most of the shops around your area (TC) have been around for a long time.
