Nice Post up some pics of the fitment if you get a chance. Also, let us know if you have to roll or not to clear with your drop.

when are you going to put the oem wing on the car?

I can't decide if I want to do it or not. I had a 00gs300 with a wing and the entire time I wanted a trunk without one.

Not yet, I have decided I am going to go with the USDM turbos and will do the injectors at the same time and have it retuned. Hopefully making a little bit more power. Ill have to make another downpipe to work with the USDM turbos. I got some brand used brakes and installed an app radio.

Nice! Are you running the same tire brand and type all around? Also, do you get any tramlining on bad roads? I love the traction I get with my tires, but they tramline like crazy on bad roads.

No, I think they are goodyear f1's up front. And she likes to move a little on roads with ruts.

Love to see progress made on this car. Keep us informed on the progress. The 285's on there look good. If only I could only find some mint TT wheels in chrome.

Thanks, I thinks it's a great size for the car. It really tamed the beast in first and second gear.

I found a set of old enkie wheels and slapped them on, And did the LS400 front brake upgrade instead of using my Brembo's. I used drilled stoptech rotors on the front and rear with Akebono pads. Goodrich braided lines. Cars stops ALOT better now. Here are some pictures...
