Default newbe pics, and budget suspension

98 lexus gs300 got it for 3500, fixed the rear main seal myself and misc problems, i'm not sure if the car has its original engine because on top of the engine it has some junkyard writing 02 is300 etc etc I guess i would have to check the vin on the engine but here are some pics. ohh and i bought some megan lowering springs but damm it didn't even lower my car an inch, so i put on some cheap ebay coil overs from a "specific car" not mentioned yet and with a lil bit of modification it worked i can slam the car and raise it perfectly and the coil overs are under $100 i'm testing them out this week going back and forth to work and i'll let everyone know how i did it, i'll take pics of my suspension later for the people that don't believe me. rides pretty smoothso far. i'm not saying to do it to your car, i'm just stating of what i did for the people who ask what kind of suspension i have.
