I would do all the necessary checks on it such as replacing ball joints, timing belt, etc.

I agree with everyone else on the wheels, oem look way better than those, and definitely get rid of the blue...seems too riced...which is not what Lexus stands for.

Besides that IT LOOKS GOOD!!

I talked to handoverfi and he said that I just need to adjust them to get rid of the thud sound when I hit bumps. Other than that, love the coilovers.
Hopefully I can play with the adjustments over the holiday weekend comming up and get them perfect, and repaint the calipers.

It can go lower, but if I do I will have to remove the fender liner in the front, its pretty close to rubbing as is.

I did the Lexus recommended 90k service about 8k miles ago. Ball joints and bushings are next on the to do list.
