I say if u are gonna floss at least do it right. Roll right or don't roll at all. What is point of dubs if your stance is kinda retarded. look a great example. NEO. that is a great perfect setup right there. other wise u get an ugly gap in the front.

Really apreciate u guys sharing ur pride and joy....WOW!!! lookin really nice from everyone. Thanx for the pix and they are badass inspirational.

I have noticed the rubber on my factory 17s is getting old and am looking at going to a 19" setup..... 19 x 8 fr/19 x 9.5 rear......

the question that i have is wether or not the ride quality will absolutely go to garbage.  i know this topic has probably been covered but i am just wanting to make sure that i do the right thing and am not going to be out of pocket lots of $$$ and not be happy.  the reason i am asking is because, my old car (BMW 325is) i put 18 x 8.5 HARTGE all around and was not tooo happy with the ride quality.  i mean it wasnt too bad but it kinda felt like it pulled a little bit during deceleration and especially on rougher roads i noticed it, and when you order rims from germany and your not  too happy it sucks :chairshot:

i realize that 19 is an entirely different scenario tho.  will the ride quality be saved a little as i am going with the staggered approach....would it be within my best interest to invest in a set of sway bars to help tighten everything? if i upgrade to the L-Tuned S/S combo, would that help the ride quality? 

Im not looking at taking my car into autocross events so handling is not my top priority.  at the same time, i dont want my car to feel like a TAXI.  i think i want it to sit a little lower and maintain a comfortable yet sporty ride quality to the car. 

if you guys out there with your knowledge could help me out that would be key.

thanks.....

Any time u put more rims then tire u will always sacrifice ride quality. I also am gonna go the same route but with 20"s. I opened a thread:

http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=20006

asking the other guys advise and they gave me some good suggestions. but less rubber means more stiffer ride unless u mess with the suspension. I am gonna go with the Tein CS.

good luck

I will measure tonight and post.

I will be selling those rims shortly for a new set of staggered 19's or 20's hopefully soon. I really wish I held on to my stock rims and tires.  :chairshot:

Nice!!! ...what is your ride height?

thanx for the replies guys. I just like the personal answers. This is very informative from u. I am totally stock right now. Neo!! nice ride height. that is height I am interested in. I think I am gonna go with the Tein CS 1.2" drop with these 20"s

what do u guys think?

thanx for the input...teins are one of my choices..They do have a great reputation even in other cars. I ve always had bad luck with coilovers though. Its kind of weird here in the org. not much responses like other forums. greatly appreciate your response. I am thinkin about Teins CS with some 20" ALT 296 Blades.

thanx again

anyone?!?! is this topic already covered?!?

Hey all!!!

Just like to say hi to some lex owners. I just purchased a 99 gs 300 and wanted to give it some nice personalized mods. I am in the quest for exterior mods such as a good drop. What is your opinions on most of these springs or your springs( HKS, Tien, Tanabe or whatever u have) and also what height are u sitting. I am also debating goin 19"s or 20"s. How is your ride quality? I want this to be as comfortable as posible with the drop. I already have a max with~300whp so this is gonna be my cruiser..so really appreciate any imput given.

thanx

a newbie :P
