Looks amazing with those Vossen's.

I ordered the Tanabe springs for my obsidian last week and I can't wait to get them on. Unfortunately I have no idea I want to do for wheels.

BTW, did you have your brakes painted or powder coated?

Very nice. Be sure to send terrycs all your fitment details so he can add them to the database.

when I pick up the car this weekend ill take some more after pics of the drop and compare them to a couple before pics. Ill definitely send the info to Terrycs as it was his document that helped guide me through this whole process.

I am usually really careful, but somehow I got a pretty nice gash in my front drivers side wheel. I found a place that could repair it and was told that it would take two days to finish. Not a big deal, I travel for work M-F but figured if they are going to have it a couple days might as well get a few other things done. So, i figured i would get her lowered and get the calipers painted. I wasn't really big on getting her lowered but all the pics everyone posted on this forum looked amazing. To be honest, the pictures don't really do any justice. My car looks longer and leaner with the drop, like its a completely different car. So glad i did it! Thanks again to everyone on this forum for posting thier mods. Also, used to own an 06 GS430 and had the calipers painted black to match the car but wanted to get it done in yellow back then but was to afraid for something that dramatic. This time around, i figured why not, glad i did that as well. I got the Tanabe NF210 springs from Redline360 and so far i have had no issues with rubbing. Full right and left turns, in reverse also. Took some speed bumps a little faster than i normally would trying to bottom her out, no issues. The drop is a little more than an inch in the front and back. The Vossen wheels were already pretty bad *** but the yellow calipers really set them off. I got the decals from a recommendation on this forum at motogfx. I have been a little surprised with the 4th Gen GS as my old 3rd Gen GS i would get compliments on her all the time, not so much with the new ride. But ive only had this car with the mods one day and everywhere i went today i was getting looks and people coming up to me.

Just want to say thanks again to everyone on this forum who posted thier info, without it i wouldnt have had any of this work done. Also want to thank the guys who did the work, the place is called wheeltec in Tampa. When i was checking thier shop out they had a Rolls Royce on the rack getting its wheels repaired, figured if its good enough for a Rolls, its good enough for me. Glad i did it, the guys there were awesome and they did an amazing job, i couldnt be happier with their work and professionalism. If anybody needs any more info just let me know and here are a few more pics.

Looks good, better with the drop. Sucks about the wheels.

What's up!! Can you share your offset info? And any rubber issues?.. Did you roll or shave fenders? I can't decide on 275 or 285 in the rear ...I have the same setup
