Just bout my first Ls
Well I just bought my Ls about 3 weeks ago and fell in love with the car. I got the car for 1,800$ with only 123,000 miles on it. It has only had one owner and and was thoroughly maintained on a regular basis. I did a car fax on the car and everything looks great. I've done my research about the car and I plan to keep it for a long time. I've been looking on this forum and lexls and have found some great ideas. I want to lower the car but don't want to "slam" it. I want a low look without sacrificing the ride. I was wondering if I could get some ideas. I was wondering about what would be a good rim size and what coilovers should I get. I want to lover it about 2 inches and get some 19s I'm just looking for some ideas and was hoping I could get some help. I plan on fully re doing the car. Inside paint and everything. I'm new so I don't know much. So ill be asking a lot of questions. Hope I'm not a pain. Haha. Thanks.

Congrats, that's a total STEAL!!!
Sounds like you're apart of my group. OEM Lexus wheels with a bit of lowering.
Megan EZ Street Coilovers:
New: ~$600
Used: ~$425
Add an extra $100 for Megan LP coilovers.
There are a few other brands that make coilovers as well, JIC, BC, Tein, these are more expensive.
Wheels:
Used: $300-$800
New: Same... Depends on your hookup... Guy I bought my SC430 Wheels left his receipt in the box with mine and apparently he paid $300 flat for a brand new set of chrome Pie Dishes at a Lexus Dealership... Nuts.
There's a few other OEM wheels that fit in the 18-19" range as well off other cars... 350z, Mustang (Boss 338s are nice), Subaru, Hyundai, etc.
Spacers, if you get SC430 wheels will cost you between $400-500 depending on brand and style.
Here's some pics and links for inspiration.

What rims are on the middle picture. I have those rims on my first gen but I never see those on first gens. But thank you for your help I'll look into that. That look is exactly what I want. I think my first project is going to be all the interior lights and heater light and all that. I was just looking at the forum. Thank for you help and knowledge.

As for the EZ Streets. I have a hookup on those for $400 brand new... But the same guy quoted me $600 that quoted me $750 for the LPs.

Pics of? I do not have any pics of my car with the SC430 wheels and Megan Coils as I just picked up the wheels, tires, spacers and coilovers in the last 4 days. Installing next Weds.
