Default 2008 Lexus GS 450h lowered on Tanabe NF210 with Work SC2

I'm really happy today because I got my GS back from my buddy's shop. Here are a few pictures of my new ride. You can also check out the pictures posted on the shop's website (link below).

Special thanks to:
1) Nigel Chow for the Tanabe NF210 springs hook up;
2) Cyrus @ SR Auto Group for the Work wheels/tires, and spring install.

Enjoy!

PS: if you don't see the pictures, scroll down until you see a black GS 450h. Or click on February 2009 on the right hand side if the current month you are in is not February. Thx

Edit: thx rominl for linking the pics. pls note that all pics were taken by SR Auto Group, all rights reserved. More pics on page 2.

Very nice wheel choice....that's the one I also want to throw on my blk 350AWD. They look hot on your 450h with the drop. clean ride.

^^ yeah, lots of members on CL running Work SC1 or other types of Work wheels. didn't want to folow the crowd, wanted to be different. and plus my buddy cyrus at SR convinced me that it would look hot! that's why i went with SC2.

Classy ride is right! Do you feel a lot of bumps running that rear tire? I'm thinking I should match my 245/30 with 285/25 instead of 275/30. Looks really good man
