I just purchase a 94 ls400 and did the cone filter intake mod with an adapter from pep boys, new serpentine belt, and changed out the trailing arm bushings and rear carrier bushings with the adus. My shocks don't feel broken but my car seems to have about a 1-2" lower stance on the drivers side. I am guessing the springs but I have never heard of springs sagging with age. Any ideas???

Ya, I have searched around the forum for about 2 weeks before making any comments. There is a debate about the spring holding the weight of the car and shock controling bounce. I guess I should re-phrase my question.

" Has anyone replaced the dead shock(s) on there ls400 and notice the car go back to the correct height afterwords?"

Good question - looking forward to the responses. Seems like springs would also have a lifespan and eventually would sag over time.
