Default Finally!!!

Picked up a 2017 Lexus IS200T F Sport Ultra White with Rioja Red interior something I have been in search of this color combo with no accident history for some time and finally found this one and I couldn’t be happier. I paid cash for this beauty and am ordering accuair e-level a accuair endo cvt 5 gallon and some 19x8f and 19x9r CCW CL565 wheels today to get a start with my build. Any suggestions on the best bag over shock combo that I can go with. Pictures of the car below

Nice! Looks very clean. For suspension, I would look in the suspension section to see what people have done with bags.

Just purchased my Accuair E-Level and Accuair CVT dropped $3k on air management alone now to decide on my bag setup 🤔

Even with bags, make sure on streets you have a longer suspension travel to soak up bumps and not bottom out. Keep the front/rear compression/rebound (resistance to going down and suspension coming back up) rate ratio similar to factory for front and rear or you will change handling characteristics not for the better.
