I had these plans until my car got hit. So what is the alignment like? How was the install? I am thinking of DIY, anything to note from the mechanics?

It has 249 miles on it!

The checked the alignment, a little tweak. I meant the printout but forgot it. They told me to bring it back in a couple of weeks for a check up.

Took them 6 hours of labor. The rears were easy, the fronts were a beach, he said.

It was roughly $760! Ouch! but I don't have the tools to do it and it's a shop I know.

Thats almost how much I paid for my coilovers

How much of an additional drop is it if you have the shocks also? I've seen some Tanabe NF210 installs and they look a lot more lowered than you!

Looks very good, glad you are a happy camper...but I could not resist commenting on your install price!!! "Good Lord thas a lotta $!" My RSR's were installed for $220. It is nice knowing those doing the work on your car, however, and being comfortable with them is paramount.

I was sticker shocked too. They didn't have a time and labor guide for the doing this work on a '13, so they charged me the actual hours. When I said I know them, I meant I have used them before. There aren't a lot of places around here that do this kind of work and, IMO, they say Lexus and new, so the price went up. I love the look but was not happy with what they charged me.
