Default LTUNED shocks/springs, ecu installed!!!

Hey y'all,
Just got the goods installed and love the setup!!!! The Ltuned steering ecu is probably the best mod for $125, and highly recommended for the pre 2001 GS. (I presume 2001 and later already have 'em). You notice the difference almost instantly, with the greater response and tighter control. NO more of that loose ish!!!! Love'n it!!!

The Ltuned suspension is also a great investment. Quick controlled turns with eliminated body roll is what i was looking for, plus didn't have to sacrifice the Lexus quality ride, with too tight suspension systems found in other products. I paid about $350 for complete install, but well worth it. Oh yeah one thing though...i didn't know the drop was going to be that low...1" seems minimal, but currently, I am hearing feeling minor scraping on my cat conv on the ground when I enter my garage. (has very slight slope). I am hoping this will be corrected when I have my 19s installed. PICTS WILL FOLLOW WHEN ALL MY CURRENT MODS IN PROGRESS COMPLETE!!!!

Pretty freakin' exciting yo.....

Congrats! I loved the switch from stock to L-Tuned springs/shocks/ECU. As far as getting 19s to raise the car, that will only happen if you get a 'fat' tire setup like I have. I have 245/40-19 and 275-35-19.

Congrats on the setup. Those were some of my first mods as well.

As for the wheels, Bit is right. If you get 19s with the "correct" tire spec, the outside diameter won't change. You'll just have more metal and less rubber. Going "fat" like Bit did will get you higher, but you will be out of spec.
