haha it's a secret. i'll have pics up in the wheel thread sunday night.

Hey pnice972 if you ever go out to ft.worth or arlington for a ball game, I'd like for you to maybe drop by and test out my driveway. I'll buy you a 12 pack or something. I want to see if your body kit will make it without scraping. I like that kit from the pics. I need to see it in person before I buy it though. Plus i need to make sure I can make it up and down in my driveway.

all look good with the Eibach Pro-Kit...

my question is....how does this affect alignment and the shocks/struts?

1. will Lexus be able to align it or will the specs change?
2. does it need alignment after the spring install?
3. I've heard changing the springs only will destroy the shocks/struts

thanks for some feedback

wow, im really impressed with the OEMs with the eibachs. especially MR with the gspiders..... hot! i dont know why this car came so high from the factory, if you look at the bmw's they sit much lower from the factory. anyway nothing that eibachs wont fix.
