The only thing I'm not happy with is the condition of the wheels, there in bad need of a refurb,

what does the AS200 Altezza have that a normal IS200 doesnt have? this this is the first time i have heard of an AS200 you see, i knew there was always an RS200 which has the yamaha beams engine.

Also, how come it has a lexus badge on the front?

The AS400 has the same 6cyl engine as the IS200 but dosn't come with some of the extras, no electric/heated seats, no leather etc., but I paid a couple of grand less than the same year IS200.

Also, how come it has a lexus badge on the front?

Not sure, I would guess that the last owner didn't want the look of an Altezza RS200 as they atract unwanted attention from the Garda (police), it also has standard euro shape plates rather than the jap square shape that most Altezza have here.

mate, u got any spacer on the car?

On the wheels? no I think the offset may be wrong for the car, the rears ar wider than the fronts but the tyres are 225/40 all round, I had the wheels off the other day trying to find the offset but couldn't see any, might check the other wheels later.

but they look really good tbh :)

Cheers mate, only problem is the top of the front tyres are rubbing the wheel arch liners when going over speed bumps and stuff, its not a huge problem, there only just rubbing, might try slightly raising it or stiffing up the front. Anyone know how to adjust the damping on Apexi coilovers?

the strut tops mate if you look at them if they are adjustable their will be a wee wheel on them with numbers....

Nope, aint adjustable so, if I change the tyres should i go 215/40 front, 225/40 rear or 215/45 front, 225/40 rear?
