Something to consider dude: The subframe on that ES300 hangs very low. If you plan on dropping it as much as you say you are, you will scrape on every little thing and most likely get stuck if you are not careful. Driving a car that is lowered is much different than driving an oem height car. Taking time to do research on things like this will benefit your build. Glad to see your motivated!

financial planning apparently isn't taught in school nowadays.
