Wow that's some thin rubber! How is the ride? I am personally rockin' 255/35/18 in the rear staggered, 215 seems pretty narrow, what width is your rear rim??? Verry CLEAN and CLASSY Whip though!!!

SORRY FOR THE FUZZY CELL PHONE PIC!



Here is the most recent pic of my ride, taken today about 30 minutes ago. I see the clean black on black 7 series driving around town almost daily, she must live or work near me. Little did we know that as we pass each other she was admiring my Classic LS and I am always checking out her blacked out 7. We just happened to park next to each other today at the super market and she glamorously stepped out of her car and seductively walked around my car about there times saying wow your car is clean what year is it? what? really? Her car showed a little wear but was kept up and has that classy feel to it. I am a 7 series fan but Lexus has my heart. I don't know would ever own a BMW. She gave me a lot of respect for my car as I did hers. It's nice to know that my 1990 LS UCF10 can hang with a 1997 7series BMW. It was nice to see these 2 big body cars posted up next to each other sittin' clean.

I'll take the LS any day over any Bavarian Manure Wagon. Those are nice looking german bundles of grief & I'll never own another one.

I just scheduled with my mechanic to injstall my coilovers on saturday - my drop is finally happening! hoping to get somewhere around here:

Nice RK, can't wait to here about the ride quality and see how much your OTD cost is... Thanks for the compliment.
