Finally, back to where things started, well sort of... (New addition w/pics)
I'v tried out many cars after I lost my '90 LS back in 2004, and each one never felt right. So I finally got my favorite year of the 1UZ LS400. It's a 2000 Platinum Ed., sliver on gray, I picked it up with 80K miles from a lady owner in CA and I'm lovin' it!
It doesn't have air suspension so I'm looking for some coilovers. I need to tint the windows to try and keep out the Nevada sun, and I'm planning on making a cold-air intake for it, and maybe an exhaust down the road. I also want to throw on some 19X9.5 - 19X8.5 but I don't know if a 35mm offset will ride rub-free with un-stretched tires. The front bushings are bad, and I thought Daizen made all the control arm bushings for the car, but it looks like I was mistaken. Does anyone make them, and where can I get the various poly bushings for the car? Thanks for your help guys!

I had Daizen bushings on my 90. I didn't mind a harshness, I tend to favor the performance aspect of them. But does anyone even make them for the UCF20s?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Nice car! I wish they offered that edition north of the border.
I think a 35 offset will work with those wheels. It just depends how low you end up going. I have a 20's in the same widths with a 40f/45r offset with 245/275 tires and they're nowhere near rubbing at the stock height. We'll see once the Megans go in.
