finally worthy to post pics for cl
got the registration renewal in the mail. it is almost a year since i bought ls430 from the mainland.
finally got time to put in some goodies and address a few issues. i think it took me so long because i wasn't happy at the beginning when i got it from the dealer where they claim that it is immaculate. kicking myself i should just bought a less immaclate one for less and fix it on my own. but now i am happy with the set up so far. i will eventually repaint the car.
first the dealer told me they put brand new tires. that is great however the person who change it don't know jack. both sides of the frame is bent from the dealer. i wish they just left the worn tires on.
i took it out and straighten the sideskirts and the frame. afterwards i spent alot of time to adjust the factory height sensors and got an alignment done. i got them down to perfect on the dot because i am very picky.

Nice....is it the angle the picture was taken in or are the Brembo rotors considerably bigger than the oem?
I like the stance too. What setting is it at on the controller and on average your sensor settings?
You install the interior piece yet (you know what I mean - don't want to give it away)

even my wife is running 355mm chrome endless. i am running a 380mm 8pot/345mm 4 pot
there is no controller on this set up. just normal which is what you see, and a high from the oem switch that lift up roughly 1/2"
didn't do anything to the interior since the last time i posted here....oh wait, i did install a jdm celsior trash can. that is about it.
