Dope video bro car looks great. Did the springs settle well after a while ?

@ph0bolus Ай бұрын

@@krisbreeezy thanks, brother. Yep, all settled and looks great now. Any sort of drop drastically changes the whole look. The wheel gap on stock height is crazy.

Hey bro forgot to ask, u running spacers ?

@ph0bolus Ай бұрын

@@krisbreeezy nah man, no spacers. Wheels aren't sitting as flush as I'd like, but they aren't tucked in too much either.

Very nice work Do u happen to live up north? I’m curious why u had the issues with the seized suspension components.

@ph0bolus 7 ай бұрын

Yep, I'm in Vancouver, but the car was originally from eastern Canada, I think either Ontario or Alberta, I can't remember exactly. The shop said his buddy had the exact same problem with the exact same car from out east as well.

New wheels looking great, one of the non F car best wheel design ever from Lexus. I sub to your channel when you had the KBP TL then you added 2 more Lexus. Meanwhile I add one of my own. Cheer.

The wheels look awesome!!!! lol I saw your post on CL and I was like I wonder when the vid is gonna drop. The car looks great!! Totally transformed the look. Bro I got so many q’s lol cause I might be going square too. Did the handling change when going square? Also are those wheels lighter than OEM? Were you able to tell a difference?

@ph0bolus 7 ай бұрын

haha yeah just replied, thanks again, man! I don't know about handling though, my GS is AWD and has always been squared, so I can't speak for staggered setup handling, unfortunately. I just went up to 245/40/19's from 235/45/18's. Yes, they are, I think someone on CL said they had a 36lb total weight savings over the OEM 18's. I previously had on winter tires on the g37 wheels, so they definitely feel more nimble and comfortable than those. I can feel more bumps and cracks in the road now than when I was on the OEM 18's, but can't attribute that to the wheel size/lower profile tires, or the springs lol.
