hi im new to the lexus community.. here are pics of my newly modded ucf10
just started on yet and it is far from finished


dropped on megan coilovers and sportmax rims when i first got it








still have to get the exhaust system done


im not going for any crazy bippu / vip look... just trying to build a clean celsior that doesnt look like anyone elses
if everyone went for the true vip look then everyones car would look the same but just with different offset rims depending on how deep their pocket is.. just my opinion

also this is my daily and i drive it EVERYWHERE..

18x9.5 +35 all around
btw.. there for sale 500 if you want them

and i got the megan coilovers direct

they could go far lower but it will just hit frame.. nice stiff ride also..
i dont have to worry about bottoming out.. havent done it yet!

so if your looking for a factory / soft ride .. the megans are not for you!

That nice kit is just begging for some aggressive dish wheels and fat angle cut pipes. Nice dog BTW.

Where in SoCal are you?

That's because the kit hasn't been painted yet.

Megans ARE pretty decent. The coilovers are actually the ONLY thing I'd trust from them, since they outsource it through another company anyways.

I wish I woulda known they fit UCF10's. The picture they have on the site was with a UCF10, but advertised for UCF20. So I called them to verify and they stated the front ones fit, but the rears were too long for UCF10, so I bought JIC's instead. Now I find out they DO work for UCF10 Damn JIC's put me in the poor house

the JICs ride a LOT better than the Megans, they are EXTREMELY stiff

Ahh ok, I guess I'll enjoy them when they finally arrive.

Anyways back on topic, Nice car man! Are you planning on keeping those wheels or are you going to get different ones? They look nice but maybe a little too "sporty" for a UCF10
