Because Vanilla Ice and his tag on his clothing was such a cool fad? I used to work at Autobacs in Japan installing tires but it just says "i had someone who doesn't know what they're doing install tires" to me.

I like it, just take the stickers off or you may slip out of no where...

Haha, yeah I know it kinda pissed me off. But whatever, they did good work installing the lowering springs. And the stickers have already worn off half way. I'll take it on the freeway tomorrow and they'll be gone.

How much did springs, tires, rims, and labor cost?

lol, thats the spirit. just press the gas harder than usual and itll wear off. but seriouslly, be careful till they wear out completely. i'd try peeling them off also. How are the springs? My parents used to have a RX300 and I remember how soft the OEM ones were.

Yeah, they look a lot more aggressive in person. And, it's a little difficult to find wheels that are 22x9.....

Those really appear to fit the wheelwells nicely -- I wouldn't have guessed they could do it. The lowering must be just the perfect amount. Looks good!

LOL! Well, I put my hands on the wheel and turn it....lol.

But yeah, that picture makes the wheels look a little funny. I'll get a couple more up when I get my D/S rotors and calipers painted.
