Another question... It seems that everyone is going with the 245/35-20s in the front and 275/30-20s in the rear... I've been shopping around for tires, and there is not a large selection for 275/30-20 tires...
I know jack shi bout tires... wat yall think about nitto 555's? they are a lot cheaper than the alternative which are michelin pilot sport a/s
the only other set i found are continental, but i ain't rollin those...
as i sit here and wait for my rezax to come in, can anyone answer the question as to why Work only makes wheels upon order? Everything think I learn in b-school says there is something wrong with this business model...

Oh snap!!!!!!
Your car is extremely hot. I really dont like White cars, but lowered with black rims looks great. Your car is begging for some super dark tint.
Good job, cant wait to see what else you have planned. And that goes for all of yall.

From the specs, the NF210 would probably be better suited for mild lowering and better comfort. With 20s, some comfort is already lost due to the thinner/stiffer sidewalls. No need to add to it unless it is what you want.

I was told that when lower the car it will stop rub'n like the cls.

First 2 mods
Hey Guys, just got back from Vacation and my blk/blk GS430 was here waiting for me.
First mod that I did was the nav/dvd in motion. Dvd and phone entry via touch screen work at speed, but not Nav entry. Please help if you have a solution.
The 2nd Mod, I must say was a little scarier sense it had me cutting away at my front Grill. I installed the Bel 75rx remote radar detector w/shifters. The right side is level and attached, I'm working on the left side now. I'll attach a few photos. Let me know if you want to see more of my work along the way...
ok, maybe just 2for now, takes a long time.
