Default 2006 GS300 AWD lowered on NF210 and RCA

Well guys, I've been a member for a while now, I've juz been a lurker, Finally purchased my 06 GS300 last November.. I've done a bit here and there to it, but most recently, I've push my luck and lowered it with Nf210 and also installed 20mm Rca hoping for the best since i hate 4x4-ing this damn thing in stock height kakakaa. Will be performing the Axle Spacer mod soon hoping it will reduce the vibration and whobblin I have.
I'll be posting pictures of it stock height, how it looked with only the NF210 and how it look with both NF210 and 20mm RCA(front only)
hoping to go coil next year

This is how it was sitting on Stock suspension with 19 inch Rims

Car looks good, but not really feeling the wheels. Staggered 20's will fit the bill

Yeah, not feelin the wheels, at all.
Looks unfinished, not matched, style is wrong for the car.

Nice stance though.

Its not that the design of the wheel looks bad, but the color. It doesn't match the car.

Maybe if you took them apart your wheels, stripped the finished on them, fully polished them, and rebarrel the rear wheels to be staggered they may actually look good and you wouldnt have spent a ton of money

Lower grill and sunroof visor ruins the flow as well.

i bought the car with the bottom and main grill,i took the main grill off, juz didnt have time to take the bottom one off.....i boght the car w the last owner putting things here and there that i had to remove cuz its too chrome-ish for me....i'll be rolling with these wheels for this summer and most likely will be changed nexst year when i get the coilovers....
my intension of this thread is to show what the car sits like between stock, jus prings and springs w rca so ppl and get a clue when its their time to decide.
