[W.I.P.] Lexus 2GS: Chassis

Body work almost done, now is time for chassis.
Being low is the most important aspect in the modding of your luxury sedan. The lower the better. If you are on air suspension, the goal should be to park on the ground or as close to it with the ride height being flush. On this car, I like the tucked look better but flush is always sick.
So, tucked rear and flush to the front fenders - that's what i want to do.

Kit includes stock and lowered steering knuckles and arms. I took the lowered ones, cut them off and changed wheel hubs to stock. I did it for stock brake discs, because stock and tuning brake discs has a different mounting to hubs. At the same time i increased angle for more camber.


Also i added spacers for front upper control arms and made a custom front lower control arms for shortened and angled steering knuckles.

I did the same in the rear suspension. Besides i shortened underframe (red line - stock height)

That's what i got

[W.I.P.] Toyota Century: Suspension and wheels

Completed undercarriage and suspension.


And i changed my perspective on the wheels to body color. Now they are mostly black with the chrome details.
Also i modified the tires. I took normal 19's Aoshima tires (not Kiwami) and increased inside diameter. Now the profile of tires lower, not so thick as stock and not so thin as 'kiwami'.
