Is there ways to make LS drives like IS?
I took my car to the dealer and got myself a loaner (IS300). after driven it for a day, i really appreciate the way it handles. is there anyway to my my 95' LS handles like that? upgrade the wheels?
i know this may sound stupid, probably a lot of people will just say "sell your LS and get the damn IS". i know guys but i think there's got to be a way to improve the handling of my LS. my car is equipped with the air suspension. i think that's even harder to work on but man .. the IS drives really nice. i still want the roomy and the luxury of the LS, i just want the handling of IS. is that wrong??

You can try this
Well the only way to improve your ride to a more sporty one is to get rid of the air struts, get lowering springs and struts (either Elibach or Intrax lowering springs 1-2 inch's) bigger wheels ...say 18inch wheels or so and low profile tires. You can also get cross drilled rotors for better stopping and then you should get upper and lower sway bars!!!! Try this site http://www.rodmillenstore.com/ls_400/price.htm Your car will have a more sporty ride to it if that what you want. Remember there is a huge weight difference between an LS and IS! It will not be cheap thats for sure!!!! There is another site I saw but I can't recall it at the moment. If I find it I will let you know. Good luck!!

Uh, I would skip Rod Millen...
Try the TOM'S brace kit...even though it says '97+, it SHOULD work on the '95+ as they are actually the same chassis...
