Question Does Anybody Know Specs on Suspension Heights
Does anybody know the specs for the 2002 LS430's ride height - fender to ground, and tire to top of fender. I have just converted my UL to coils and springs. The car looks like it is sitting far too high. The distance between tire and fender is almost ridiculous.

The people that sold the coils and springs to me are saying its "close to OEM." I don't think so.

Any help appreciated

I wonder if the shocks were tightened in the air and thus preloading the suspension
