So yea. Im new to the VSC forums. You might recognize me from some other forums. Im a BMW guy at heart. But a family member is looking into getting rid of their Lexus for dirt cheap. So I figured this would be as good a time as any to finally register and do a little learning. My last build was a 1990 BMW 325 coupe. Unfortunately, I blew one of my front bags and that laid the car up for a while. Then I decided to move across the country so I parted everything out to fund my move. Here are some pics and info on that build if you havent seen it elsewhere.
AccuAir E-Level with eXo mount, wireless fobs, 2 400cc compressors
Airlift universal front air struts (sleeve style so I can run a low offset wide wheel)
Koni Yellow rear strut
UAS rear bags
Rotiform TMB 16x8 -4 front (3.5" lip) 16x9 -5 rear (4" lip)
I decided to mount all the controllers and stuff on the deck lid. I dont like how wires look and this was the best place to keep them all out of sight
