Its a smooth *** ride, gets stiff and holds during a tight turn and when going down the road, its smooth and absorbent.

nice updates, but i thought you were going for custom setup coilovers?

also, the roof patch...i had the same issue on my car but 10x worse. bondoing the surface won't do wack to solve the actual problem. the front windshield needs to be taken off to get to the root of it.
i guess you could get the fenders painted at the same time you get that done.

cuz modding a car that's got primed body panels...come on, we lexus guys are better than that

Nothing major, no. And I'm not saying that I have street raced, but I can say that at 3am on the Chicago Exspwy, my car stayed nose to tail with an Audi Turbo TT Quattro at 130+mph and once ran down an SVT Focus... both cars have more WHP than mine.
