So far I've put close to 700 miles on them, and so far they are great! They seem a bit soft even on there stiffest settings, but I suppose thats why they are called EZ Streets. Easily daily driveable, they pretty much ride like stock. If your looking for entry level coilovers to get you into lowering and getting noticeably better handling. Then these are the best bang for the buck. I got mine for $682 dropped shipped to my door in three days.

I'm actually in the process of painting it right now. I'm waiting for the 3rd cost of the base to dry, then I start the pearl, then clear. Should be done within the next couple hours. Plus if I have enough paint left I may even paint the outer trim of the radio bezel part of the dash that the volume **** and temp **** are in.

Pfft I wish! The black one is my buddy Andrew, he isn't on the fourms nor does he ever go to any meets.

He's Singled 67MM Aristo Powered though. Put just shy of 400WHP on 10PSI.

Thanks Ali!

I actually purchased the whole swap from Saurah here on the forums. Came with everything thing needed. It's a full Soarer 1JZGTE R154 swap. I can't thank her and Shern enough for helping me out with getting the motor set ready. All the gaskets & seals have been replaced. The intake manifold & all the turbo piping have been media blasted, so they're ready for paint. She also included a HKS Type-S Intercooler with all the piping needed for twins, an ACT 6 Puck which Shern so kindly installed for me. I have much more to purchase from her including a brand new Tial 50MM BOV, HKS EVC-5, and many more parts. Thanks to ClubLexus for all the DIY's! Can't wait to get her back on the road!

Got the motor pulled in 2 hours! Damn near drained all my gas on the floor along with the ATF fluid. I'm a dumbass and didn't drain the tranny before I pulled it. Anyone have any pointers on how to clean ATF fluid off the driveway before the HOA fines my *** haha.

Will have pictures up soon of the process!
