Widebody 2nd gen Lexus GS

[honeybadger]

Got front arms installed. Didn't get anywhere near the amount of camber correction I thought it would provide but something is better than nothing I guess.....

So I finally got the rear wheels done.
1. It took forever to remove the paint from the faces, especially the SSR super black coat finish. I thought it would never come off.
2. I ended up going 1/2" more aggressive like I wanted to. Final specs in the rear are 19X12.5 (-7) with a 6.5" lip. 305/30 hankook is kinda chunky.
3. I broke a wheel stud so the wheels came right back off and I get to fix that. Then reinstall wheels and adjust the suspension.

So here are some really poor quality pictures of where I am right now. Finally got at alignment and front camber is set at -3.6 while the rear is at -2.6. So far I haven't smashed my front fenders so that's good. It's a little higher than I (and stanceworks) originally wanted but I'm fine with it. I want an E46 M3 now, I should sell this....

God damn

Love me a good gs and this thing sits meaaaaaaan! e46 m3 are sick but this car has way more character.

Gotta find a way to bring aristo or atleast the full 2jz set up from one and make big power! zuuututu

Thanks. It was just a thought. Doubt I could get enough coins for it to get into a decent M3 anyway.

Means a lot coming form you!

Nope, all stock, 12.5 rear wheels for 225 hp

For anyone wondering, here's a another shot to show the fitment.

Do you plan on working on the engine at any point?

Most likely no. But if I get bored enough a 2jz-gte is possible. I would want a single turbo conversion though, so not cheap.

GTE is a waste unless you really want twins. Just slap on an OEM GTE headgasket and it'll drop the compression to 9.2:1, secure it with ARP studs and you'll have something good for 500whp+. I've done the HG swap on a couple NA-t cars, and it's a much easier route than doing a full swap. Then CXracing sells a generic 2jz kit for the GS, I'd get the turbo rebuilt and have the wheel balanced tho.
