Meet the daily.
First off, it was a nice sunny Sunday today in Atlanta, so I figured I'd go and snap some shots.
A little about my car and vision when I was (and still am building it):
The car was never intended to be this crazy "VIP" car with fresh paint, wheels or anything for that matter. I had intentions on it being just a nice, reliable daily driver. So, I went for the beat, "I don't give a damn" look-lol!
The car has it's fair share of scuffs and scratches, but it is mostly dent free and the paint is an overall 8.5 out of 10, which isn't bad! The interior is near flawless and comfortable too, so it works!
Considering I drive more than 70 miles A DAY, I decided to dump it on some K-Sports and ride out with some Work Meister wheels that I had laying around.
I have my Supra for the days I feel like being straight up flossy-this just gets me to work and back.
Specs:
K-Sport Full Coils
Work Meister Wheels - 18x9.5 +20 and 18x10 +0
Future plans:
Refinish the wheels
Tint
New front bumper to rid of those HIDEOUS fog lights!
These are the last pictures you'll be seeing of the car for awhile (until I redo a few minor things):

I thought he bought that bumper from another member who had it on his LS before. Goodness I wish I could remember his name.
Random,, how has your experience been on the K-sports. Comfort, adjustability, etc. Would be interested in know what problems, if any, you have had with them.

Thanks for the comments guys.
The fogs look alright sometimes, but they just aren't for me.
They were actually GIVEN to me by Jurassic when I purchased the JDM one piece headlights from him.
I'm currently looking for a new front bumper with the white/gray combo and hell, I'd probably even trade any of you guys straight up for my bumper and fogs for your stock one...let me know!
Quite honestly, the ride isn't as bad as I expected when I first wanted to lower the LS 400. I figured since this thing is basically a tank, any suspension I'd pick would be a harsh ride-but it's actually not bad at all.
I drive to the city 5 days a week for work and I drive on some of the worst roads known to mankind, and they are still going strong. I was worried I messed something up in the suspension, but turned out it was just a sway bar bushing making a clunking sound. But all is well.
As far as adjustability, I have plenty of room to go lower if I needed to (about 2" until I bottom them out) and the dampening is pretty awesome (32 way) so I can't complain at all.
If you have the loot - I'd say K-Sport is a good way to go.
Thanks!

I thought your setup looked familiar. I remembered tho that Jurassic's car was grey and he put his back to stock to sell.
Question, can you give a review of your K-sports? Comfort, etc. I been debating between those and Megans. Hesitant on K-sport due to some others reliability with them on different rides.
