CJITTY's Random Pics, Vids & Build Thread
I shouldn't be surprised, young folks are very comfortable with techincal applications but in play time, they lack the kind of imagination of us older guys. They never had to make up games as a kid like we did. That carries on to adulthood.

i love those rims... those are the same rims that i have for my gs... and yes with the 2' drop it makes a complete difference... im actually thinking of getting a LS and thanks for the visual of how these rims will look on it... your car looks great!!!!
There was an LS next to me in traffic yesterday with 20 in Vossens. It just didn't look right....and the guy was profiling so hard like his ride was dope.
Maybe if it was lowered it would have looked better but not they way it is.

Well, I think anyone pushin a 460 has the right to profile and floss because they have a 460..its the flagship and a ballin azz car without a single aftermarket upgrade required other than for personal preference

Tanabe NF210 Springs ARE ON!!!
Finally got these Tanabe's put on today!
Big shout out to Shibumi1 here on Club Lexus for helping out with the rear seat removal and recommending such a great shop to handle the install.
Also another loud shout out to Justin over at AutoPros in Orlando for doing my install. Justin did a fantastic job and really treated my car as if it was his own. Just for the record, this install DOES NOT take 8 or 9 hours as the dealer or other shops will suggest (based on ALLDATA or other book labor rates, etc). This took about 3-4 hours with pauses to let heavy rain pass through (he used the outside lift). The removal of my power/heated/cooled rear seats seem to be the biggest hassle, but it really wasn't bad at all.
I am very impressed at how much the car dropped with these NF210s and how smooth the ride still is..I am extremely pleased with this mod. Car was aligned to near factory specs. The rear is perfect, but the front camber is slightly out of spec and I will eventually need the +2mm arms that Lexus offers to get it absolutely perfect.
Here are some quick pics after the install taken with my cell phone..I'll get some better pics up later.
FRONT right after getting off the lift, it has less gap now after driving it around a few miles

NICE!!! i need to install mine!!! i keep saying that!! hahaha!! it looks so good man!! shibumi1 also great help when i asked how to get the rear seats out... now just a quick question, when you get the seats all the way out is it then as easy as any car to remove the rear strut mounts?? i was wondering because if it's that simple i might as well do it local instead of driving down there (just not finding the time to do so)

Thanks. The once the seatback is out and you remove a couple of snap in triumph pieces along the c pillar, you can easily access the rear strut mount bolts. Although I was thinking of a self install, having someone who has done this numerous times on another LS was a huge factor for me. Good luck!

Thanks. My commute situation has changed dramatically in the LS's favor, so some 22 vossen cv1's or perhaps cv3's are next up to bat! If I had $3500 laying around for that setup, I might of been posting a bunch of additional pics! Cv1s are the top contender as of this particular second lol
