I know Syd, but with that I am having hard time getting out my driveway without scraping it.

"damn", i guess it costs to be the boss. no need in ***********G up that beautiful car that you put all that work into. you're doing an excellent job keeping it classy. BTW, that LS is sic... i would have chosen silver for the finish on the wheels and finished the trim with the same silver.

The price to install them was only $200 so I let the shop I bought them from do it. I watched the tech and it did seem pretty easy.
terrycs, could you tell me what shop you used, I'm looking to purchase a set and it would be nice to get them installed at the same place I purchase them.

Tanabe actually recommended them to me when I was searching for a local dealer. But they will ship too if you prefer.

That's the F-Sport Spoiler right? If so, how much did you get it for?

Weird that the headlights aim downward after the drop. Since the springs drop the rear slight more than the front. Was the dealer able to correct your headlight aim?

Got mine at LSD too. It was a pleasure dealing with Mike C there. He is pretty awesome!

Today I had Dustin installed them. If you're in the area I highly recommend them. He did it in less than 3 hours. Waiting for everything to settle and an alignment. So far I'm extremely pleased.

The headlight level sensor is on the drivers rear corner and is independent from the front. I've honestly just been too lazy to take it in but it's on my to do list.

Thanks for the heads up. I think this thread might be helpful:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...be-nf210s.html

I don't know if my lights are down since I haven't had time to drive much tonight. Will keep an eye out for it.

For those of you planning to lower your cars. Can you look at this light leveling sensor and note the original position? Maybe let your installer know as well maybe you won't have to deal with this problem afterward.

The sensor doesn't appear to be adjustable.

I agree, fills out nice. I bought some spacers, then whil ethey were in transit.. I decided to go for wheels and tires... so I have the spacers in the boxes. I expect my new wheels to fill out the wheel in similar fashion to the one above (+32 front, +45 rear if I recall correctly)
