That's low!
Sounds like what I'm going to do. I'm just worried about the camber problems...I wish someone would just come out with a camber kit already!!!

It's perfect.

It's actually just the L-Sportline grill w/ the rear Lexus badge put on it. I figured it was a nice touch to set it off a little bit.

Looks good. I noticed the wing too, I really like it... You just need to line it up better

Car is looking really good. Just the amount of of tasteful mods.... I think the coilovers are perfect with the perfect drop... How is the ride quality with the drop and the 20's?

The ride is nearly as good as a stock Lexus ride. You mostly notice it when you hit decent size bumps...mainly on the highway. But it is definitely a great ride. I have to thank Rominl for this choice of coilovers. After reading his review on all Tein coilovers, i knew which set to get.
