Default Finally Dropped

Hey guyz, thanks for the positive comments about my choice of wheels. I finally got my drop, but on the same day bent my driver front rim by hitting a pothole while going to work at 4 in the morning. Talk about feeling sick. Well I sure am happy how the car looks now with the drop. I gotta say, the ride is almost like stock.

Man I'm really sorry about the bent rim. Your car looks really nice. What suspension setup do you have?

nice drop, first time seeing the prokit on the 250 rwd, its lower than i expected. would you possibly hv more pics because i am deciding either to get the prokit just like yours on my is250, or wait for the tein s-techs.

looks awesome!
as a side note: be careful with the s-techs...i had them on my is300...and although the drop looked good, the ride was terrible. the wheel shakes and its really bouncy...

Your car looks killer!!
I love the color of your wheels
I was going to go gold with my white car, but with the dark tint I decided to get black wheels.

Hey guyz, thanx for the comments. It feels food when others appreciate the same thing that I do. In Hawaii, Eurosport did the rims and the drop, see Jeff.
