Getting A Gs300 Sport On Friday

[Anuj]

hello we are picking a close member of the families lexus up on friday, was wondering whether anybody else has the same colour car. also what tires would owners recommend and any subtle mods that people have done. also has anybody lowered one of these, heres a pic of when he came down from london a few years back

[spikes]

looks a nice car, is still as good condition now ? :)

[Anuj]

yep p reg only 61k full lexus service history. 11 years old and still in v, good condition.

[maneesh]

They are already slightly lowered on Sport models. How much lower do you want to go? Better off ordering springs from a US seller. More choice and cheaper prices.

Nice looking car :)

I am a little confused. Is the car in your pics on private plate ?

also what tires would owners recommend

I've used Falken FK452's and Eagle F1 GSD3's with no problems. Currently got Continental Sport Contact 2's on the back and they seem to be OK too.

and any subtle mods that people have done

Only thigns I have done to mine are clear side repeaters, clear front indicators and calipers painted.

also has anybody lowered one of these

The Sport is lowered by 25mm all round already. Speed bumps give enough grief with just that drop so I'm not sure I would want to drop mine any further.

i would usually do this To a car but i think orange suits this colour car better

Anuj, I have exactly the same car with only one difference my reg is R

Tyres I am using mean to say when I bought the car were

Front: 245/40ZR18

Back: 275/35ZR18

Since then I have changed once & I have put the same type of tyres Donlope

My car is quite lowered, don't know how much, but it is quite lower then usual, I have asked the previous owner, he said he never change the hight, he got it from Lexus as it is, & thats not good, because I have to drive very carefully if their is a old fashion speed breaker on the road, other wise it will hit the car body.

Tigerfish, your car front grill have no Lexus Badge, but Anuj Lexus same as mine had the Badge, it means I have lost my Badge, is it easy to put the Badge on front Grill or I have seek help from Lexus Twickenham.

Please advise.
