Default wheels and springs on finally.....shes coming together

Ive been patiently waiting for winter to get the the hell out of maryland. I think im safe now so I threw my wheels on that have been sitting and waiting. I had the springs installed a month or so ago. I always run coilovers, this is the first time ive ran springs. They actually ride great and sit almost perfectly for what I wanted this time around. I would like maybe a touch lower in the rear, but can live with it. I usually dump my cars, I wanted to stay mild on the 460

Getting the car tinted next week, and will be ordering either the vertex or INGS lip kit, not sure which yet. Also going to go with the DAR window and trunk spoiler.

Fellow BSP owner here.

I like the look of your car alot! Really clean.
I imagine the tint kit and rear pieces will be the finishing touch.
Love it!
Inspiration indeed!
And as Tee mentioned, love the drop!

Thanks fellas.....Im ususally the dude that keeps pushing the limit in my cars, my 769rwhp GS is a great example of it. With the LS I really need to restrain myself and keep it clean and classy. Maybe im finally acting my age!

Very nice. Black out the chrome door trim.
I will have to wait a long time - 5 1/2 yrs - to drop my car.
My Lexus SA already informed me that the controI arm bushings will not be covered under extended warranty if the suspension is modified. He said plus size wheels are okay but no drop. Bummer.

I don't know much about wheels, but I thought they were Vossens. The spoke pattern/spoke geometry is reminiscent of CJITTY's.
Nice!

Great look! There is no way I'd be able to throw on tires that low-pro here in CT. The rims would be dented within a day due to the crappy roads. We have some real craters around.

What kind of springs did you use? What is the specified drop front and rear?

What kind of ride difference did you notice? Is it much stiffer? Similar to stock? Just looking for some feedback as I'm debating putting springs on also.
Thanks!
