looks good get a transmission flush & oil change have them top off all your fluids and fix anything the previous owner never did before you start modding.

nice car and welcome, please change your balljoints if you havent already. They are known to fail around 100k miles regardless of lowering or not

Nice care man. And i'd just buy OEM from Sewell's site. Be sure to sign up with your ClubLexus name and you get a discount.

If I were you i'd change my tie rods while you're doing ball joints.
