Did you install this yourself? Do you need any other tools other than a spring comprosser if you are doing it yourself?

The ride quality is just as smooth but no more floating at highway speeds. Handles better but a bump on the road may be a little more noticeable.

There was no need at all for removing the ball joints. Install was very simple.

pic of whole car coming soon

Looks nice, congrats. Like the red calipers too.

Why the heck can't Lexus deliver it from the factory like that? Reducing the ugly fender/wheel by an inch makes it look SO much better. The same issue is with the 06 GS. Why can Audi, BMW, and Mercedes do this right and Lexus blows it?
