Just thought I'd share some after pics of my Megan Racing coilover install. I know they're not the best at all but but the car rides great and I don't plan on any autocross or track time.
As an FYI I just recently replaced all 4 rotors and pads, poly bushings in rack and sway bars as well as new oem UCA's and LCA's so my ride and settings me be different for others.
I lowered the car essentially 2" all the way around and have the front set to 4 (0-15, 0 being hardest and 15 softest) and the rears to 6.
Long list of upcoming mods including 18's, clear blinkers, BFI, Tanabe Medalion exhaust, new windshield and molding (long story) and little odds and ends. I am a little late to the SC300 game and been out of work for almost a year but am enjoying the Lexus ride, enjoying putting money into her and still probably plan on NA-T or GTE in a year or so.
I also included some pictures from a couple months ago after I compounded, polished, sealed and waxed it with my DA as I know the pics with the coilovers the car is a hot mess and hasn't been washed or waxed in a few, especially those headlights and also as a reference for stock height to 2" lowered with these coilovers.

Those stock 5 spokes don't really compliment the drop but I see you're getting some 18's for it. I don't know why they made those 5 spokes so skinny. Beautiful car though.

Ya I agree. I am currently trying to decide between the following but not 100% sure yet. Leaning towards the Carthage wheels though...any recommendations? These will be 18x8 front and 18x9.5 for rear.
Looks good. Always nice to see someone taking pride in their car. As far as wheels - #3, especially if you get the gunmetal/black accents painted to colomatch to your car.
I personally like #2. Those would look really nice with what u have so far. I plan on picking up some CX racing coilovers this month but since I don't have my wheels yet I will only do a 1" drop until I get some wheels. Ur car looks really nice
