man that's a steal on those wheels.

TEIN is the ****

S techs are phenomenal, like others have said, they ride much much better than stock, they re softer than stock, no bounciness what so ever, much better and even drop than NF210's and they're always available nationwide unlike tanabe.

The camber kit was needed because the rear would rub the slightest, and im ANTI-FENDER rolling/pull/shaving. Lexus' dont roll/pull/shave well IMO.

Mind you!! the springs only been in for 2 weeks, they'll settle soon and I'll update stance.

I love Tein So much i ride with DAMNPACHI. FTW

lexlova what caliper brake paint kit did you use? it looks super slick...

LexLova

Steal isn't the word!! it's just a hell of a bargain at its normal price no sale no gimmicks no shenanigans!!

LexLova

That would be my secret. But all I can tell you is, what it's not: Powder coated, G2, Automotive paint.
Total cost for materials it's less than $50. IT'S A HELL OF A DIY!!!

Last hint, I bought everything At AutoZone. And no other caliper job can come out like this especially being at fraction of $$$

Hey what's up Will and Doug, Thx for the love. i tell everyone n their mama's about you guys n the STR's. tell billy good looks on the education, the offsets came out perfect. By the way guys the aggressive offsets F+30 R+35 will rub!!!

Also If you are looking into changing your center cap Decal (Not actual cap) from STR to whatever you like. The face side is 65mm.

ok lexi i have a auto zone next to my house… thats exactly how i want mine done...can you tell me a little more=)
thanks a bunch!

LexLova

These cars are good , the Owner can make it great. Couple of tips I can give you is , Do not buy Lexis OEM brake pads, buy centric posiquiet. If you have a weird smell change your cabin filter to the one In my other post. If you have run flats get rid of them. If you have nitrogen in tires like I had, Get rid of it.

Next Mod Hopefully wish me Luck

Steps
1 Clean the snot out of the calipers ( simple Green, while scrubbing with wire brush, alternate with Spraying Simple Green while sanding with 300-800 grit . Rinse Let dry

2 Tape and Mask car for overspray, only leaving caliper exposed

3 Spray adhesion promoter on cleaned and dry caliper, Let dry 3 mins. Also Spray Adhesion Promoter before applying , primer , base, and clear on all calipers. Let dry 3 min

4 Spray 1 coat of primer, let dry 15 min, then second coat let dry 15 mins

5 Spray coat of Adhesion Promoter, let dry 3min.

6 Spray 1st Red Metallic base coat, let dry 15 min. Then 2nd then let dry 15 min ,3rd n Last let dry 15 min

7 Spray adhesion Promoter , let dry 3 mins.

8 Spary 1st of 5, coats of clear, Let dry 10 mins, then again until 5 coats. Let dry for hours.

What we did to speed things up was used 2 hair blow dryers on the hottest setting to cut dry time by 80%, by drying each caliper for 3-4 mins after every single spray rather than waiting.

Then once dry add vinyl decals of your choice, dry for 3 mins then add 5 more coats of high gloss clear, using same procedure. And Bammm We did my cousins too. It comes out wayyy better than any $250 powdercoated job IMHO

thanks those look so good… i'll post once i get it done!

lex you didn't have to use high temp paint or specific caliper paint? let me know. going to buy it today….

LexLova

Nahhh, High Temp paint is for headers, engine parts etc, lexus mufflers, tips, Calipers do not get that hot to the touch. all the work is in the Prep. The outcome will follow suit.

Nice car + extremely low miles My neighbor still owns his ('06 GS430 fully loaded) up to this date. I believe he has less than 60K on it as he owns several other cars. Enjoy this toy!
