Default New to the fourm, slow build

Hi everybody this is my first time using any kind of forum so bear with me as I am still learning! First off my name is Alex and I bought an 07 Lexus gs 350 6month ago with 75k at Fremont Lexus. I wanted to share some pictures of my slow progress as time goes along. I hope to learn some new things as we go along. Back round I use to work at Honda as a technician

First time I laid eyes on her


My Salesman was great and the deal went smooth


After owning the car for two month I had some problems like the cam gear recall, light blub out on shifter console (still havent fix it yet), and sometime my reverse camera goes black


Bought these megan ez coilover off a fellow CL member but I dont remember his name sorry


And this past weekend I bought this AME Shallen Ax wheels from 4thUp

OK bad news guys. I received my wheels on Thursday, and the front don't fit! I didn't know these wheel are lo disc so now I need to be running spacers in the front to clear the factory bbk. (wheel specs are 19x9 +35) Does anybody know what size I should be running to clear my caliper? Thanks in advance and any input would be great

Some Update

Finally installed my Megan EZ coilover what a pain in the as*! Took me almost 5hrs to do because I had to keep adjusting the ride height, but overall I'm happy with the way it turn out. Rides good to me, but a little soft for my taste. I did have the AFS indicator light on after my installation. Had to search the forum and finally fix it two days later. on with the picture.

Tires finally came in, tpms adapter JP neck pillow and cushion
