Very nice, cant to see it after the wheels and suspension

Love the stance of the LS low to the ground... everytime i see my car now, makes me miss my old setup.

The LS really does look great when lowered. Can't wait to see phase 3. Exhausts look good. Lets get a sound clip!

looks good but a couple suggestions for ya:

-id go for the tanabe or eibach pro kit springs especially if your running stock shocks since the spring rate on the H&Rs is supposedly too low making the car bottom out a lot. havent had any personaly experience with them but there have been some complaints.
-since u have an exhaust (or just custom tips ) you could also do the JBrady intake mod. (search, no link handy)
-front+side shots required or else you get banned

Looks great - 2 questions: Which strut will you choose? What type is your exhaust?

Still using stock struts will probably go tanabe struts much later. when springs were done yesterday i took car on a 300 mile road test no bottoming out and was on fairly rough terrain most of the way wyoming roads suck so i am happy(for now), Custom exhaust

Damn, that's a hell of a drop for the H&Rs...I sure hope my DF210s give me somewhat of a drop like that!

Geez
All I had to do is read the thread man!
I have H&R's with stock struts for about 5,000 miles before I went with Bilstein heavy duty units. When I replaced them the shop said they were still good (160k miles)!

It would be awesome if you had an audio clip of your exhaust
