Default alsilverbullets completed Look! (NEW PICS ADDED)

Hi guys, I finally got the Tanabe springs installed a couple days ago
The ride quality with the springs/wheels is awesome! I love the way the car now handles and very pleased with the outcome. Here are some better pictures...............

Good job! Would you mind sharing the costs of what the springs cost and what the dealer charged you to install?

Al, it's perfect! The ride height looks really nice and must handle awesome? I'm fallen in love with those zone wheels. What's next for the LS? That's true baller staus and big pimp'in! Very well done.



I love this shot.

Thanks everyone for the nice compliments.

Wringo I am done. There is not much left to do on the LS other than adding much bigger brakes. For now the vision I had is complete. I will spend my time enjoying the car. I have had it since late December and funny think I just broke 2K miles yesterday

Wow Al that looks phenomenal!! I'm really suprised the more moderate lowering did such a good job of closingthe wheelwell gap. Thats because your have those steamroller tires front and rear.

When we were talking last year you were outlining your "vision" for the car and I can honestly say you have executed it to the letter.

I'm just glad I can say D2 took a part in the outcome of this BEAUTIFUL car. (which will be updted in our Lexus gallery VERY soon!)

Enjoy and tell the Mrs. to call me when she wants to buy you another present!! LOL LOL

Nice work Albert - the lowering really completes the look of the car.

I'm surprised more people don't lower their cars (this is coming from a guy with a new Honda Odyssey that is... lowered). How's the ride quality?

Nice, cohesive & clean look; I love it. Congratulations!

Thanks Bob for the compliment. In regards to the ride quality; the car handles a lot better now and is actually more fun to drive. At the stock height it was somewhat boring to drive bcos it felt very floaty.

Al,

My only suggestion is to get rid of the tacky JM Lexus license plate frame!
