Default Lowered w/Tein CST's & 20" Vossen 078 Wheels (New Pics)

Here is a link to the before lowereing thread and pictures
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=329762

The long awaited lowering with Tein CST's. I can't believe it took me over 6 months to put these coilovers on. Deffienetly worth it what an improvement! I got a few other things done to the car. I hard wired my radar. Installed a Injen Air Intake. Changed the orange front side marker lights to red. And put in some 5000k HID Foglight's.
Next on the mod list is my StopTech 14" BBK 4 wheel kit soon to be installed. Then some Daizen Sway Bars, Strut Bar, Tein EDFC and hopefully some exhaust once I figure out what to do.

Thanks!
I can't wait for the brakes this thing stops terrible with the larger wheels. I wasn't much of a red fan either but when I saw the red car with the black interior I thought this will look great with wheels and lowering. Having a flawless paint job makes a big difference too since the finish has no orange peel or swirls it's like a mirror. Now the challenge is keeping it that way while driving it everyday.
