Default First Build

Well, I bought the car in july of 2014 from a private dealer, Car had 114k Miles on it when I bought it, Very clean interior and your average wear and tear of a 17 year old car. Its a 1998 Ls400 Fully loaded with the Navi.


Coilovers
I decided to go with Bc Br racing coilovers Custom rated (14k in the front 12k in the Rear) with an extreme drop kit.

Wheels & Tires
I went with a set of XXR 521
20x8.5 225/35/R20 +30
20x10.5 255/35/R20 +32

Didn't Really take any pictures of instalation of everything, Was on a time crunch. But here are the ending results.
Didnt have a chance to roll the fenders before the installation so i still need to do that before I lower the back anymore.

looks good but why the stiffer rates in the back?! front of the car would need the stiffer springs.

Haha whoops, I guess I was not thinking, they are 14k in the front and 12k in the rear (posted this right after the build guess i was too tired to notice )

But from my previous "wheel fitment" thread I would like to thank you for your help.
