I'll never understand the reasoning behind doing this. I guess it may come in handy if you're worried about being towed, or someone stealing your rims.

Just like low riders of the past with the hydraulic suspensions.

I think the main purpose is to have a lowered stance and better handling when driving and not having to worry about scraping the front bumper on driveways, speed bumps, car lifts, etc. With adjustable coil-overs, it would take several minutes to adjust the height.

Nice work! I'm a modder and completely understand this and thing it's great!

The majority of ES owners are not, which is why you don't see too many modded ES's on the road. Too practical of a car and attracts mostly practical people.

What wheels do you guys plan on going with?

Yea that's true. And on some cars it looks good but it is a lot of money
