TLcoats how do you like the 3.92 gears and the neo? Do you hit the rev limiter with thoes gears?
I actually had S-Tech springs before i got my coilovers. They were on stock shocks so they were a bit bouncy but they actually didn't ride to bad. I had no problems with rubbing with my 17's. But then again you got 20's so who knows?

I love the 3.92 Gears. One of the best mods you could do. I only hit the rev limiter ever so often and it's only for a fraction of a second right before it shifts. It could also be due to a loss of traction since it really only happens at lower speeds.

Are you installing all these parts yourself? If you were closer i would offer to help since i have done pretty much installed EVERYTHING you have to do! haha

Ya im going to install them all myself in the garage on jack stands. Im a licenced mechanic. I acidently got shipped a 3.26 torsen instead of a 3.76 torsen and i dont know if i should send it back and get a 3.76 or hold onto it in case i go supercharged. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-i-bought.html

Oh okay, you got it handled then! Whether to send it back or not depends on how serious you are about going the FI route. If you're guna keep it NA for a while i recommend sending it back for 3.76 gear ratio since it'll be a much better improvement for the power the motor is making. But if you're going to be supercharged keep it since you're going to need the traction.
