Wish It could go lower but the coilovers are only about 1" off the bumpstops and only 2 threads left... Getting new tires for the front soon though

they are 225/50/16 around. I'm planning on doing 215/50 or 205/55 up front when I order new tires. probably 205 because it's hard to find what you want brand wise with 16" forgot to add, they are Tein HA

Looks good dude. I didn't know you were getting these. I might have to stop by over Thanksgiving break and check it out.

How does it ride?

yup. 16x9 in the rear. Maybe the tall sidewall makes them look wide? If I could fit a wider tire I definitely would.

rear fenders are rolled no pull. I haven't adjusted the rear camber, but it's probably between -1.5 and -2.5 not really sure. Front is more like -2.5 to -3.

She deserves some 18s with a lower profile tire.
Looks good man.

Are the coils 1 way adjustable?

Thanks. The coilovers are 32 way adjustable. 18's are too large diameter and would be expensive; especially if I wanted something lightweight. The starion wheels weigh ~15lbs for a 16x9 Before I buy any new parts I'd rather save up for another vehicle. (ls/gs400) I know I've been saying that for a while but it's taken a little longer with the economy the way it is...

Consequently, the vehicles are generally better priced.
Save some $$, car prices will drop again when gas goes back up.

Get some Nismos! $1,500 on zilvia all day long. not much heavier for the 18x9.5 and you can get the new falkens iirc with a 35 height tire and hold about the same profile you have now.
Do it. I'll love you for it.
SRSLY.

I was talking about height adjust ability, are they dual height adjustable?

I think it looks good the way it is. It's comfy, nice and quick, and feels solid overall. That's just what I got from the last time I was in it though. Do you have any kind of time zone on when you wanna get a ls400/wagon of some sort?
