Thanks bro. Are you still doing headlights? If so...how are yours holding up?

I wanted to go man...took way too long getting my coilovers and j pipe installed. I ordered the same tips Matt has. I'll snap pics of rear once i install them. Lowered the rear almost to max...looks a lot better.

haha yea i can do headlights but it will take 2 days.

paint needs drying time

also i remembered you should get the tech trunk wing.. i believe your wing is the non-tech wing.. there is a difference in sizes.

mike,

i saw that you posted you are running 32 psi.. i would not recommend that psi. the reason being is that you need your tires to be as strong as possible.. i have done my research and with 20's you should run about 35 cold and 39 hot. thats how i run mine. This way if you hit a bump or a pothole you wont bend your wheels.

trust me when i say this.

http://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-s...ile-tires.html

there isnt an exact number. many people say 36 cold. i run about 35 to 36.. above are some references.. 32 psi is just too low for 20 inch wheels.

I wish I could keep Erin's fronts that high... Streching a 245/30/20 P Zero onto a 20x9 she's loosing air around the bead when she takes corners... i'll put 40-42 cold in them two days later they'll be at 26-28 hot... the right is worse than the left... about to rotate them and see if it's the tire or placement thats makeing that one worse... rears 285/25/20 on 10.5's no issues...

Something is not right bud. Im running 225/35/20 20x9 up front and 245/35/20 20x10.5 on rear (custom made 3 piece wheels) no air lose at all.

yikes! why are you running such a small tire in the front? judging from the pics it seems you have soo much room in the front fender wells.

you loose a lot of the steering right off the bat when you go from a 245 series down to a 225 series tire. i know because i run a 235 and it is no where near the stiff steering i had with my stock 18's

i put my rears 255 in the front and my sterring was way stiffer.

Checked... they don't loose pressure sitting still like a valve stem would, they only do it while in motion, i've tightened the cores, and soap checked the stems... no issues... currently have rubber stems and with the Vossens they are in the middle of the wheel so nothing can really get to them to damage them... I need to go get the TPMS put in with the steel stems so i can watch them real time to verify my theory... Sorry to jack your thread Mike...

LoL no, they came mounted and badly balanced ready to bolt on... I just haven't gotten around to having them put in and re-balanced yet... They are sitting on my kitchen counter I pulled them out of the stock about ten days ago...
