what are your top 5 mods that you've done to your Ls.. and what 5 mods would u like to see done? please post any pics of your mods an ideas you've seen (on a lex or not that u really liked an would like to see on a Ls)


my top five are :

1: lights (hid,leds & smoked)
2: removed emblems
3: suspension (an adjustable camber kit would be GREAT) hint hint hint (to all those fabricators out there)
4: brakes (drilled/slotted rotors w new pads)
5: alarm (w remote engine start)

6: wheels & tires (usually closer to the top but i cant seem to make up my mind on 1 set) coming soon...


i love seeing

1: body kits.. (going that extra effort to set yourself apart from the crowd)
2: audio/video mods (ipod,video in motion,extra monitors, subs etc)
3: interior upgrades (adding those lil extras the dealer forgot)
4: engine mods
5: custom paint (i love seeing the attn to detail of a great 1 off paint job)

My mods so far:

1. Tanabe NF210 Lowering Coil Springs - By far, the best springs I have ever owned on any of my previous cars, whether H&R, Eibach or Suspension Techniques. Car rides so nice and no fender gap, but rides on rails with no body roll on hard cornering...perfect! Also have the +2mm camber control arm brackets to help alignment after drop.
2. Lumarai Morro Wheels (TSW line for Lexus) - hub centric, stock lugs/center cap/TPMS. Along with that, Continental DWS tires..perfect for 20" or greater wheels in my opinion. Quiet and long tread life (50K miles)
3. HID Fog Lights - 3000K (yellow) color. Works great and looks extremely good IMO.
4. LED bulb conversions for interior filament bulbs - best lighting for one of the worlds best vehicle. Amazon has them in packs of 20 for less than $10 shipped in some cases.
5. 15% all around window tint - I like this combo because our windows are huge so its perfect for my taste.

Next up on wish list -

1. 22" silver/machined Vossen CV1s or similar style wheels..
2. simple body Kit
3. Roof/Trunk lip spoilers
4. DVD lockout bypass module
5. Upgrade to "L" model with Air and lowering module

I wish I could afford the HKS Supercharger, I'd really like to see what that thing would feel like under throttle; unfortunately, that probably will never happen.

The rest, on the other hand, I still want

Forgot to mention we need Ingalls to develop adjustable camber arms front and rear. I have been to their facility in Colorado before and had them on my Acura TL. Very good and solid product and very easy to dial in camber preferences.

Brian...what is the purpose of the Skipper lowering link is you have the DataSystem? Can you drop the car more?

brianlin87

iTrader: (11)

Well, for me, the Datasystems lowering/raising the car took far too long for my liking. So, to adjust that, the Skipper Lowering Links allow me to pinpoint a spot where I like my car to sit at the "0" height (which would be my daily driving height). From there, I could lower the car down to "3" or "4" much faster; which would be the equivalent of 7 or L for those cars that don't have the lowering links.

To answer your second question, I believe the answer is "no", unless you have an LS600h. It turns out that the LS600 with the Datasystems does not lower the car as much as it does for the 460s. On "L" mode before I had the lowering links put on, I could lower my car to the point where the car could not budge at all without hitting everything in the fender well. The speed of travel was my primary objective with these links, and the speed is exponentially faster; and the convenience of adjustable suspension parts is bar-none in my opinion. That being said, when my new suspension does arrive, I might be possibly listing up these Skipper Lowering Links because my coilovers are adjustable

Let me know if you have any other questions.
