[QUOTE=JoshIS408;7940606]As of right now no issues, been on the springs for 5 days now.

408,

Have you had the car aligned yet? If so, how close to spec was it?

Not yet. Will get it aligned in another week or so. Wanna put a good thousand miles on the springs before getting aligned

Sounds good. I have to wait another week to have mine installed, next Monday at the earliest. I like the painted fog enclosure/brake cooling panels. I had that done as well. Keep me posted!

The Mod bug strikes again....due to bald tires . Leaning towards the Stealth gray look for this build. Wheels finish are a Gunmetal Dark Tint face with a Gloss Black lip.[ 20x9 20x10.5 245/35/20 275/30/20] Pictures do not give the wheels justice, very hard to capture in pictures like my IS wheels ... now I need to get around to installing the fogs -_-

Also please note the Lexus GS350, like the ISx50 is a victim of the "Lexus Lean" (passenger side sits 1/8" higher then driver side)







Looks nice I am from the 408 also, I want to get some work done on my Lexus gs where can I take it ?

As of right now I am on RSR* Super Down springs. Coilovers would help me achieve that perfect stance I, along with many fellow car enthusiast strive to achieve.

Here are the level pictures you asked for





**was squating for this picture haha, pretty much no gap drop, though the front seems to sit just a tad bit higher about half a finger id say, maybe less **





Very true, there are talks of a coilover being created to work with the oem electronic dampening. When and if this comes out, say before the end of the year or so I will most likely be switching over. If not I will most likely make the switch to coilovers anyway later on just due to the fact that I strive for that perfect stance for the car. I know it may slightly* impact the performance of the car, but coming from a highly modified 2IS point of view, I actually prefer a stiffer ride.

On a side note, when I had KW v3's properly adjusted (car was tucking tire aswell) on my IS350 the car handled like a dream. It was like apples to oranges when comparing it to stock.







This is how she sits now all on accuair + function form prototype air bags




Thanks Mike, slowly but surely. This will be a simple build



Thank you!



Thanks Will post more pictures if requested and or when I get new mods, whichever comes first haha
Wheels looks sick love the color setup
