Height adjustment isnt too bad. It takes a lot of turns though. I wish there was a better easier way to use the wrench but its all good.

Its pretty low in the front. Cant really tell by the angles in the picture. I can barely get 1 finger inbetween the front tires and the fender. Ride is pretty good. It is stiff like someone mentioned before but not as bad as I expected.

Thanks bro.

I do have a front lip. Its the Camry TRD Lip but unfortunately it dosent fit the 00-01 ES well. I'd have to take it to a body shop and have them "make" it fit and have it molded into my bumper. If I had a 97-99 front bumper it would have fit perfect But I think I'm going to order an exclusive lip or a JDM lip.

Smitty,

Your ES is looking lovely. I recommend the Wisesports lip if you want that VIP look.



It would look good with your car slammed! And it looks like you'd keep your 01 bumper.

I think that's the lip but I'm not sure. You can probably ask one of the vendors to find it for you. Wisesports does make several full body kits though.
