[Scorpion]

I picked the springs up last Sunday(cheers Imi)and im going out to fit them today....

Watch your hands don't stick to them!

[imi]

Your welcome matey, i'm sure you won't be dissapointed with them.. :winky:

[Scorpion]

Yiiiipppeeee...........all done,i just beat the light!!

The car sits much lower now and benefits from the usual results from lowering

i took it for a short blast and the cornering is much sharper.I will drive it for about

200 miles then get all four wheels aligned.

Will post some pics 2morrow as the camera doesn't have any batteries...kids,dont you love em.

The car sits much lower now

I found mine only seemed to be a touch lower immediately - but they settled down after a few days.

what ones did you get Pete?

[Scorpion]

H&R's from Imi.and believe me it sits much lower than the stock sport springs

there is hardly any gap in the arches now.....and thats on std 17's.

I AM WELL HAPPY !!!!!!!!

To be honest i wasn't going to go down this route with the Lex like i have in the past

with other cars,but i thought it was worth it.......and it was.

Imi you are da man,thanks fella.

Chris.. these are the H&R's it says it's a 35mm drop, but once they settle down, the car looks lower and well nice, corners excelently..

I would have kept them for sure, but due to unforseen circumstances i needed the adjustables, so i could up the hieght when i need to..

The H&R's are more popular in USA, as the .net members use these on the IS300 rather the any other make..

[AMH]

I just had mine lowered using TTE's - when I went last weekend for the tracking they could not quite get it back to the original settings - will be interested in how close your adjusts up when it's done - please let us know.

[Scorpion]

Sorry it took a long time to load up,but Here it is at last,and well worth the time and effort.....looks so much better.

[Fidgits]

Looks great Pete! B)

[ifraz]

Looking good Pete. Great Job ;)

[imi]

well in Pete, looking good...

what do you think to the drop n ride?

[Scorpion]

I think the drop is just about right for a spring replacement for the Lex,unless you go the coilover route,and the ride quality is very good for a 35mm drop!! i find that there isn't much difference to the ride quality,unless you hit a pot hole then you feel it, but then you would with any lowered car.The handling has improved so much,it feels much sharper and responsive

With the other mods on chassis/suspension that i have in mind it will only improve the handling 100%....

roll on the new year..... :winky: :winky:
