Thanks for the feedback. This is the only picture I have of the system. If you want to see more on it you can check out the feature in the next Car Audio Mag.

I've also attached a few pics of cars that were built there.

HOW DOES IT HANDLE, AND HOW BAD DOES IT RUB.

StackinChips · Lexus Owner Joined: Oct 16, 2005 Posts: 23

The car rides really smooth and after rolling the front/ rear fenders and trimming the front inners of the rear bumper there is no rubbing at all. As for handling, the springs from Tanabe are built for a comfort ride so they're not really as stiff as I'd like.

Thinking about running coil-overs so we'll see what happens. I'll give you an update after I install them...hopefully next week.

JSIN, YOU SO CRAZZZY, NAH I THINK IM GONNA STICK TO MY FACTORY G SPIDER WHEELS FOR NOW, WAIT AND SEE WHAT I GET FO FRIZZLE AT SEMA.

You can't lose on 22's Davin. Go for it.

But then again 20's look bitchin' as long as you dump the shit out of the car. I'll be up at SEMA as well. My car will be in the MRR Wheels booth but it'll be sitting on 20's since MRR doesn't make 22's yet. It should look pretty good and if I have the coil overs on by then I'm gonna lay it out.

Check out this pic of this CLS on 20's.......the sh*t is bannanas!

REMEMBER J, I HAD 22ZZZ ON MY 01, 3 POPPED TIRES AND 2 BENT WHEELS WAS ENUFF FOR ME, IN TENNESSEE THE ROADS ARE A DISASTER, AND THEYRE IN NO HURRY TO FIX THEM.

Good point. 22's don't leave you with that much tire....then again...it's a lot of tire compared to the new 24-inch passenger tire built by Toyo. Hah...ha ha.....can't wait to see someone rockin' those on the new Magnum's and 300C's. That isshh'll look funny as f*ck!

very nice, it looks kick ass!! wat offset's r u running???? r u running tanabes 1.3 or 2" drp???again looks very clean....

StackinChips · Lexus Owner Joined: Oct 16, 2005 Posts: 23

Thanks for the compliment. Is that your ride in the pic? If it is...it looks bad ass with the faces all blacked out! It looks stealth and aggressive!

As for the springs, I'm running the Tanabe NF210's (1-inch drop) and as far as offset goes you'll have to call up the guys at Collectizone Wheels because I don't know the specs....all I know is that I'm running 10.5's in the rear and 9.5's up front. Thanks again.

THEN AGAN I C U ROLLED ALL UR FENDERS .... IM TRYN TO STAY AWAYFROM THAT.... BIG $$$$$$$$$ LOSS,BUT AGAIN THE CAR LOOKS NICE........

StackinChips · Lexus Owner Joined: Oct 16, 2005 Posts: 23

Actually the car doesnt rub in the rear because I had the rear fenders shaved down and the bumpers rebracketed. I just got back home and had three people in the car and there was no rubbing.

As for the front, I have a set of front fenders that are sitting at the body shop becuase I buckled the stock ones because I didnt roll them! Ha ha ha....other than that....the car doesnt rub in the rear anymore. The front willl only rub during hard three-point turns...which means 9-point turns for me! ha ha ha....but then again that's the price we gotta pay to roll on them grown ups!

Roadstarr just gutted out the Lex and the A,B,C-pillars are all out along with the headliner. They're getting done in suede and should be done by Monday or Tuesday. Here are some pics of the car.....pretty graphic and ugly...if you don't like seeing your car apart. ha ha ha

dog!!!!!!!! that car will b crazy when u finish....post some pics, as to my car im not to big on going crazy on the car, i like to change my wips every 2 years or so....the only thing im looking into is the body kit im going out to sema next month and i hope i will have some crazy ideas....hope to make it twin turbo very soon , custom made by a close buddy,(drives for toyota in the sport compact series.....got my fingers crossed) he's talking just 5 pnds on each side and putting 120-150 in the rear tires...nasty!!!!!!!

StackinChips · Lexus Owner Joined: Oct 16, 2005 Posts: 23

Damn! That car is sick, sick, sick! You need to go twin turbo and let me know how that feels and send pics of the smoke you're gonna be leaving fools in!

As for the suede...I'll be sure to post some pics up....I should get the car back tmorrow. I'm wid you on the car situation too though, I'm probably gonna flip this ride in the next year or so and pick up a new whip to flip.

I want to get a body kit as well but the best one i've seen so far for our cars is the TTE kit. That shit almost looks stock...it''s clean.
