Installed my DF210's!!!!
Well got my Tanabe DF210 (Max Lowering) the other day through SupremePowerParts.com this week. My neighbor, Bob (Zone Wheels) and his buddy John from Progress Springs came by my garage to help do the install. Actually, they did all the installation, since they've done suspension upteen times. All in all, with their first time doing this proceedure on an 06 GS, it took um 4 hours to complete the job.
Here's a taste of the after, I finished doing a write up on the install process HERE .
Overall, these springs added 15% in spring rate over stock so it's not stiff and bouncy. Ride is very nice. The front drop was a massive 2" and the rears were 1.6" :eek: as advertised! Took the car over to Dynamic Auto Service in Midway City and Ted over there (ex-Lexus Tech) took car of me...got it aligned and fixed my AFS flashing light. That was due to the car being lowered too much out of its tolerance I guess, so he did his magic and fixed that. Unfortunately, Lexus like most car makers are cheaping out and didn't include camber adjusts for the front and rear. Sooooo hopefully some camber kits will be made.
Now I'm just dying for my wheels to arrive, as it just doesnt look right right now.
Thanks again to Bob (Zone Wheels) and John (Progress Springs) for the time and install :up: :bier:
