If I squint really hard I think it's a Lexus? Haha, looks nice even though it's similated far away pics...haha. BTW Fix your sig by adding a "/" before the "IMG" in the end.

yeah, there was a guy awhile ago who said he had the same kit on his car, but maybe i missed out on something, but i never ever saw any pics of his car and wheel setup.

i tried the "/" before the "[IMG]" at the end, but it still doesnt show up. hm...
and i really suck with comps, i dont really know how to enlarge a photo so that it stays within requirements for attaching images. someone enlighten me.
if not, pics can be viewed at cardomain.com, sn is AutoLuxLexES. thanks for all the comments guys, you guys are awesome here. time for another car, if not, air ride the ES and change more of my suspension setup.

edit: nm, i got the sig thing to work since i just changed it on Crub Rexus.

thanks everyone.
you guys are inspiration.
the wheels are trafficstar rtv 19*9 +22/23 all around(3" lip), always forget for some reason. im on a set of ksport coilovers for suspension. front maxed out camber, rear is almost. and im actually maxed out on lowness for the fronts. i would like to get them lower(same height as the rear), thats why theres so much more gap in front than rears in side shots(but still all tucking tire). but my rear is only ~1.25" away from body and front is ~2.25" from body. i am pretty much flush, but i suck with cameras. as you guys can see, i dont even know how to enlarge a pic, somebody else did it. thanks PANCAKES!
its not my ideal car, but since i already had the car, and have yet to see something out of it that just struck me, i tried. i really do hope this is inspiration for ES owners. as there were a few seniors that left right before i came in( gato and hoebag). i am still looking for a rwd vehicle. then ill be much happier, but for now, i think im pretty much done with the vehicle, besides airsetup. but i dont want to spend any more money on it. but air would be sick..
you guys are awesome here.

yeah, very stiff. all the 240 people complain about is as well. my brothers 92 ES has the camry compatible ksports as well, and once again, very stiff. retarded actually, they made 10/5 front/rear for his car. really radiculous.

at the time, they were fairly new, so the only people that i found was memoryfab.com and this other taiwanese guy on Clublexus.com. but memoryfabs price was lower. and DAZZ now carries the same wheel as the trafficstar but labeled as MAYA, but at the time didnt because of how new they were.
Charley
GATO: btw, im thinking about what you just said, and i just cant picture what youre talking about. then again, i looked at them for like 5mins and threw them on.
