  1. Is it possible to get a better shot of the after eibach photo. It's really hard to see and it would be great to get as close as possible to the car - like you original photot from the first post of this thread. I'm wanting to lower my g4 and keep my 17" rims, so it would be great if I could really see a good look at the difference.
  2. Does anybody have any photos of lowered cars with 17" wheels using springs/shocks or coilovers. I've looked through the gallery and everything seems to be 19 or 20 inch, or they don't mention the size at all. I would really like to see how the car would look before I lower it. other?'s 1. pros and cons of spring/shock vs coilovers 2. cost of springs/shock - recomended brand and installed 3. cost of coilovers - recomended brand and installed 4. my tires Michelin Pilot Sport 235/45ZR17 - is this okay - pro's and cons 5. good place to take my car for service and lowering in Redondo Beach, CA -socal-southbay/la area thanks...
  3. Thanks for your quick response Neo. I suppose what I would like to do intially is to reduce, or possibly not see any (no) fender gap while being able to keep/utilize my current 17" factory chrome wheels. Keep in mind that I am new to modding and that I'm not sure of the terms, part names, etc. e.g. not sure what HIDs are or what how tuck gap looks. I totally need to get educated, and that's why I came here. Teach me step one through.... So for now unfortunately my budget is limited and I will have to settle for a baby step approach. Starting with new tires - because of neccesity, and an econimical way of lowering my car to reduce or visually see no fender gap without losing the smooth ride.
  4. I'm new to this forum - so bear with me. I have a 1999 GS400 black on black with 17" factory chrome rims. I would like to know what mods make sense from an aesthetic first before performance approach. Currently my car is at the Lexus dealership for the 60K mile service - (pretty expensive), and the car is having the brakes done, and I believe new V-neck?, and basic lube. They also told me I needed new tires. I currently have Michelin Pilot Sport 235/45ZR17 on the car and they lasted me about 21K miles. I would really like to lower the car to eliminate the fender gap, but at the same time still utilize my 17" chrome wheels, with possibly new tires. If you guys could let me know what's the best way to do this as well as, maybe a list of 10-15 or so mods in order from aesthetic to performance, that would be great. Thanks in advance.
