Default GS400 Tom's advoxs coilovers installed Pics

I will add more shots but I wanted to give you all some dumped shots at lowest settings but hell I could only get close to the lowest setting as I dont have a jack with a low enough profile to let the car down with after adjustments. Below are the pics of the coilovers (From Kipod tyvm) and the front wheel fitment with almost a half inch of drop still left to go but at this setting I couldnt get my low-profile scissor jack out my reg jacks are way to tall. Will take full body shots as soon as I can get a low profile jack that will fit under the vertex kit. The wheels are 19's BTW. Maybe ill put her up on some 2x6's and then try it but I think even then If i try for lowest setting the wood pieces will have to be small because the vertex kit will sit less than an inch off the ground. Stay tuned









And yes I know ls400 brake caliper upgrade coming soon Haha.

if you dont have a lower profile jack, put some blocks of wood underneath the tires, then remove the jack and then drive off the wood. do the opposite when you want to jack the car back up...

Nice, these are my old coilovers. Here is how low they are all the way down.

Fronts bottomed out, rears had an inch or so to go...





















BTW, I saw you post in the other thread on the spanner wrench. I never had one and neither did my buddy Wade that owned them before I did... but maybe the guy that sold them to Wade off eBay did. lol These coilovers are w h o r e s for sure...

Anyway, I just used a wrench like this in the middle.



If you have any questions about them, shoot me an email direct__products@hotmail.com
