Get on'er soon homie!! I love it
(Cell phone pics, so don't expect anything HQ LOL)
I'd also like to add to OP that they sell these coilovers here on CL. I paid $900 for my BCR's locally since BCR's distributor is right near Orlando.

I got a few bills comin up and some new wheels and paint before I do the minor stuff like exhaust curtains and etc.Also, I think you do need an alignment, as your steering wheel goes to the left a bit, that's a bit dangerous
Unless you got a good shop, I'd take my car to Lexus and have'em do it right lol, that way if u got nay complaints they'll take the car in no questions asked.
I haven't found a decent shop here in Orlando who does good work
EDIT: Forgot to add, Lip kit is CaronTuned, discontinued item.

But if i can do it and not be wobbling all over the place in a Lexus it shall be done!! So what you guys are telling me with the BCR Coilovers you guys are riding pretty close to stock feel!? And next question where do i purchase them at? Im on a 245/35/20 up front and a 275/30/20 on the back. 9 up front and 10.5 on the back. Thanks fellas

thanks!
Thanks, i know a guy that do just wheel alignment here in town and is very good at it. I also called the dealer and checked, they told me it will be $98.99 for all four wheel aligned, i guess i will just bring it to the dealer and let them do it.

Almost like stock u will feel the bumps and a difference up it is not bad at all, I can feel my car slightly vibrating when idle but when u drive or in park u don't feel anything. I got my BC from Nigel on this forum free shipping and free extenders to adjust the back dampers.

That sounds like a decent deal, they should also have a warranty on it also.... I got my new struts put in, alongside an alignment for free (it was within warranty period). Let me tell you, I only had to come back to shop a 2nd time (simply because they followed the specs down to paper and I wanted it another specific way for a smoother ride, I forgot how or why but the tech explained it to me somehow..... adjusting according to paper with the toe a specific way makes the car swerve around once in a while). After that 2nd time, ZERO issues for about 3-4 oil changes now, and I'm sure I will still have 0 issues with the car.... Back when I went to like Tire Kingdom or even sears, I had to get a new alignment every tire rotation/oil change on my other cars.... Either they did not tighten the bolt to correct specs or they did SOMETHING wrong, because there's no way you're suppose to get a new alignment every oil change/tire rotation.
From my standpoint, I promise ya... BETTER than stock.... my ONLY ordeal is when I hit lumps instead of holes and reflectors..... when I hit a reflector, it feels like i'm gliding past it with very very slight sound, with music on u won't even notice it, nor will you feel it much at all either.... But if you hit a dip or a really high bump that goes up (on air suspension anyway) you will feel the car bounce more than stock. That's my opinion on the setup, very VERY comfy.... wifey loves it as much as I do now...
huyqly, you should not feel any vibrations at idle at all.... Definitely have your motor mounts/bushings checked ASAP.... that sounds more of an engine vibration than your suspension causing a vibration when at idle.
