Just Lowered on tanabe's w/ cv7's
Hey Guys/Gals, just wanted to give a HUGE shout out to the guys over at need4speed (n4s) especially Paul who's been a great help with getting exactly what i need and wanted for my gs. Was super happy with the wheels and he was following up with all the info and questions i had. So after waiting 2 months for these babies to come, here they are fully installed and ready for the road.
2013 Nebula Grey F-Sport AWD:
- Think design lower lip diffuser wrapped w/3m vinyl
- Painted center piece of front bumper obsidian black (bodyshop)
- Replaced "center parking sensors" with obsidian black sensors
- Replaced the "F emblem" in front with "2012 RX350" front emblem + base (if ne1 was curious)
- Wrapped the front emblem in di-noc and glossed painted the base
- Lowered on Tanabe Springs NF210
- Did full alignment and the Sport+ function is fully operational
- Got another set of tire sensors and programmed to the car
- Wrapped the rear emblem and lower chrome piece in di-noc
- Running Nitto Invo's 245/35/20 front and 285/30/20 rear
- Last but not least Vossen cv7's 20x9+32 and 20x10.5+45
Took it out for a good ride....no rubbing issues what so ever and the car handles AMAZING then before. Here are the pics and let me know what you guys think!!! Next project will be the exhaust (we gotta get Joe z to make a full exhaust kit for us!)
Also on a side note, i did everything myself, i am a lexus master mechanic for 8yrs now in nj so if anyone has any questions, don't be afraid to ask!!

hmm never actually looked into the gx one. Yea i used the rx one because i actually had one sitting on my lift and i just physically put in the f sport one into the rx and it fitted pefectly. so i figured rx350 was it. The gx one would probably fit too. The next time a gx comes in, i'll take a closer look.

D,
The car looks so SICK !!!!!
I need to come out there and make a trip to see it in person
The Nebula Gray and the Vossen CV7 wheels in Silver Polished are such a classy combination
Enjoy it Brotha

I will say it looks nice however I have seen tanable springs that appear lower than yours in other pictures on this forum but I think your car is a good representation of the correct height without any photo editing to make it appear differently.
Are you happy with the ride height?

I too feel the same. It doesn't look as low as some other ones we've seen which I like. NG does look nice when clean and shiny. CV7s look nice on yours.

Guess I'll play devils advocate, not sure what to think. The matte grill/emblem would seeminly look better if the CV7's were the graphite color OR the grill was left chrome to better balance/match the silver polished CV7's. That just one persons opinion though that it would aesthetically flow better

i'm impressed... very nice. i too agree with Hoovey, the finish on your CV7s look a little off with the carbon lip and blacked out grill and emblem........ the drop is perfect, especially for NJ... not to low.
