Yes they are beefy. They are 60k front and 40k rears. I'm trying to go really static low.

Today was a big day for the Lexus. I found and locally sourced my 40mm shortened knuckles for way better price than any shop and they are killer quality! I took them home and installed them, and after some adjustments this is how it sits. Don't mind the bacon fenders, its a process.

Default Spring Rate

Educate me please.
So you are saying 60k as in 5x stiffer than a 12k front spring rate?

Must be stupid bounce where you are at the point where it must feel like you welded the entire car to your suspension.

I mean stupid like crazy not in a negative way.
Plz explain, Thank you!

Yes, it's definetely very stiff, but I prepared for it so I can get to the uberlow, onikyan setup desired. Still very functional.

Disclaimer: This build is purely for stance.
A function over form build will be on a manual drift car for me sooner than later.

I would love to be static and slammed. Being a Honda guy I wouldn't want to risk breaking Lexus parts with how much more thay are expensive to Hondas.
Your car are #goals
