Default New pics of my car...




Just thought I would share some pics of my car- I just finished installing Tokico Blues, Espelir springs... did a light wash job...

the car has settled a bit more now since the pics (this was a day after the install...) will get some new shots soon...


Later,
Rob

NIce SC with a good stance now. Your wheels look like my old ones that I couldn't wait to replace. It's a shame Lexus did such a poor job on the center caps. How do you like your Daizen bushings? Are they harder than stock? Any improvements in handling? Disadvantages?

yeah, I like the look of the wheels, but hate the center cap... am looking to get new wheels soon, but I am still in college (for a semester or so) and since Im so close, Im gonna wait a year or so till I get out and get a job, then get the wheels, cuz its a pretty big expendature for me at the moment. I only have the sawy bar bushings installed right now, but will doing the rest of the bushings really soon. the sway bar bushings helped ALOT- it was easy for me to feel how much they helped my car.

next mods for me will probably be:
-Wheels (this mod is a ways away...- but will probably go with a lighter weight 18" mesh)
-TRD Supra big *** sway bars with supra endlinks
-some sort of lip kit (wise or one of the aussie lips) and 97* side skirts
-then eventually brakes...

Im over trying to mod my sc4 to go fast, now I just want it to handle like a sports car should handle (well its not really a sports car, but you know what Im sayin...)

btw- the espelirs are awesome, the rear is tucking a tad, and the front sits perfectly, gives me just the right ammount of rake, with a good amount of drop, which really makes the car look pretty cool!

there is a tad of rear camber, but that should get taken care of with an alignment.

the ride is amazing... it feels so nice, not rough, but stiff... feels like a sports car, but not bone jarring- Im used to dropped cars (I tinker with my bros MKIII jetta that has alot of suspension mods to it, and that thing is rough) but my car feels how a luxury sports coupe should feel. Its not pillowy or soft, but its not rock solid and/ or super rough. I think the best way to put it is stiff...? Its hard to explain! lol-

OLT- the amp is for rick (my twin bros) jetta, we are building a box at the moment... I took mine out last week, as I got tierd of not having any trunk room

you can re-do those center caps pretty cheap and easy- get some of that 'wheel paint' stuff. It's made by dupont(i think) and if you prep the center caps right, it will come out looking perfect. I did it with mine
