Hello everyone,

when i got my es350, i always wanted the car to look a bit more sportier and just overall better than factory. I started by switching out all of the yellowish halogen bulbs to LEDs.

this was before,


and after, they look really blue in the picture but they are more white in person


i started looking for aftermarket wheels and suspension just for that bit more of personality, So i decided to get some BC Racing Coilovers as i wanted to lower the car because it sat too high for my liking


I did all the instalations at home with help from a friend, here is how the car sits on factory suspension


and lowered on coilovers


and for the final touch brand new rims and tires. i shouldve gone for 19s or 20s but thats for next time. i got 18s on 225/45.

 

if you guys have any other recommendations please list them

 

I like the black wheels, I am going to do the same later on this year.

 

You could add the factory trunk spoiler.

 

Are you planning on doing any work on the interior Sbas350?

 

Looks good. Any work on the stereo?

I was looking to upgrade lighting but I think my "17 already has LED headlights and fogs. I purchased some LED high-beams. Still need to get those installed.

 

do you know if I will have to drill holes or if it’s glued in place??

 

yes, i would like to add a star light ceiling I feel like that would be a great touch to the interior, I also want to replace the factory speakers because I feel like they really lack in base, also1 of my speakers pop at really high volume and I like my music loud.

 

usually they drill holes. But I've put trunk spoilers on other cars and only used some careful cleaning and some high quality double sided adhesive to stick it on and they all stay on tight. Do it on a hot day to really have the adhesive stick and I usually cover it in a towel and set some weights on it to keep it pressed down.

 

The 18" wheels look very small as huge of a body as the 6th ES360 is. With low profile Tires they always do the 6th Gen ES.

How do those struts ride?

 

Technically, you need to drill holes. There is a separate template for the drill holes that Lexus sells.

Instructions attached below.

 

How is your ride quality in comparison to stock???

 

it is definitely stiffer with less of the cloud feeling, but its not horrible. you do feel bumps on the road, especially with the lower profile tires. the car handles night and day different with the coilovers, more confidence when going fast around corners, less body roll, etc.
