So now that I have lowered the car with Tanabe Coilovers, I have driven it for a week and have been loving it. Worked out great except for the other day, when I was turning a corner and got an unexpected dip in the road and...BAM...you see what happened. So live and learn, ordered a new fender shaving of the inner lip before if goes on the car and raising the car a little. We'll see how that works out. Loving the car however......

Sucks to see you messed up the fender. :cry:

Time to rise the car a bit.

Those wheels look sooo right on the LS!

You gotta be careful when you pimp the ride, though.

Daaaaaammmnnnn, that must really bite it hard. Thanks for sharing though, I now know that it's really important to be careful when the car has been lowered! Take Racinstyle's advice though.... I'm fairly certain he knows what he's talking about.

Thanks for the support and compliments guys. Just ordered the TEAS system for the car as well. Works with the Tanabe Coilovers to adjust the dampening on the fly for a little better ride at different speeds. I should have the fender on in a few weeks, so I will let you know how that works out. My friend at the dealership where I work is the S*#t and really works his magic on all my cars, pulled the fender back in until I can get it into the shop at the beginning of August. He has done I think like 7 or 8 cars for me. Big shout to Brian at Lexus of Austin...
