Personally im with you. 2 fads i strongly dislike are huge camber and cars lifted with wheels that are so oversized they dont fit. I miss the days of slammed cars with triple gold wheels even though i never wanted those type of wheels.

I respect most stance and vip cars because they are usually well done but i just dislike the cambered wheels.

LS430 retro done two months ago. Both headlights and fog lights are turned on. I can see at night now... I want to do the LS400 brake calipers next.

1999 GS400. 216,464 miles. Excellent condition. Car has a permanent spot in my garage. Looking to fill the other side with a low mileage SC430 one day!

Just in case dude takes a while to chime in, my DF210 ride fine even after cutting one dead coil.
GS400/430 spec on my GS300, slightly higher spring rate.
F & R RCAs stock shocks still, swapping out to Bilstein sport once they blow.

Yeah, one Rover is a DD and the other needs an engine rebuild and then it's outta here. Tips are aftermarket installed when I had my stainless Magnaflows put on. I'll post a better pic tomorrow.

The DF's ride great. I'm on stock shocks because they were still good.

It's just better to have the flexibility of changing height, especially if you change wheel diameter. On 20's the drop was perfect. 19's, a bit of a gap unless I want to run slightly bigger sidewalls.

Here's mine. Been my daily driver since February 6th, 2012.. I'll never forget that date haha. ..... I love my car. I have done plenty of stuff to it in the past years. New cats, o2 sensors, + exhaust gaskets. New Die Hard Platinum battery. New battery terminals and everything in that area redone due to aging deterioration. New Lexus OEM mats from Sewell. K&N air filter. Most expensive NGK spark plugs. New headlights from Sewell. All white LED interior lights + rear plate as well. Chrome Lexus license plate frame from Sewell. Cross drilled rotors with top notch pads all around. 3GS 18" wheels on all season Pirellis. 20mm spacers in the rear. New servo for passenger side. ****t I think that's it. DESPITE all that money spent, I still love the car as much as day 1. Has been so reliable and good to me. I try to keep it as clean as I can inside to always keep me feeling good about it. Ima clean freak. Inside at least. I'm convinced I'm with Lexus for life. Next car might be a 3GS GS430 or 460 or maybe a SC430. Have a good day everyone on CL. #GODBLESS
