Finally lowered - L-tuned

Well, I bought a set of KYB shocks/struts and L-tuned springs about 6 months ago and just now got around to installing them. Couldn’t be happier. This is my daily, so I needed a setup that would improve handling without dropping it too low. The rims are IS350 staggered. Let me know what you think. Next will be some better brakes and maybe exhaust.

First picture is before...second is after (sorry it's a little blurry)

I think it'd look better with some bigger wheels, but great otherwise

You went from a "nasty" to a "sweet" rating in a few hours. Good work! I have Eibachs on OEM shocks (for now) which I think is about the same ride height (L-tuned = Eibach??), also on 18s.

How do you like the handling with the OEM shocks? I am thinking of putting back my OEM shocks and keep my Eibach (L-Spotline) springs but I don't want it to loose too much of the handling I get with my Bilstein's.

Thanks

Looks good, I did the same thing about a month ago but went with new OEM struts. I DD mine too and didn't want to go to low and think this package is perfect. I definitely notice a difference in handling but think lot of that had to be the new struts, old ones had 150k on them.
