14K/8K, rears have about 1/2" of preload on the springs to compensate for the weak rate. Rears are also full stiff, fronts are 26/32 clicks stiff. -4 degrees in the rear and -3 in the front with 0.10 degree of toe on stock adjusters. I'll be upgrading the toe and trac rods to help correct the alignment some more, but the stock adjusters worked out better than I thought.

Personally I'm not a fan of stretched tyres either but it does look awesome !!
However I just gotta say that's the weirdest LS430 I have ever seen !!!

To each their own. I'm not a fan and don't hang out with anyone that does this kind of thing to their cars.
