I have a question for those with moderate drops on these wheels *Looks at Lavrishevo and sdwtchlvr*...

Did you have to get your exhausts modified? I totally forgot about this and plan on getting mine tucked right now, kinda low on cash funds but I want to kill the wheel gap to at least 1-1.5"... Car is going on Megan EZ Coilovers, Looking for the squishy luxury feel still and not slammed and stiff just yet. I don't mind angling over speed bumps/dips/driveways, seems like a speed bump would be no issue at Lavrishevo's height, but those cats do hang low.

And while we're at it, what about the wire harness?

Aww c'mon, this thread was booming hard before, what happened?

Just want to know if i'ma need to modify exhaust and tuck harness now or do it later? Just aiming at a moderate drop (1-1.5" wheel gap). Not sure if I can have the dampeners set to the softest, don't wanna lose the luxury ride yet.

Thanks guys.

For that level of drop, you won't need to do any exhaust mods. ~2"+ then there will be some speed bumps, driveways and road ruts that may pose a problem but for everyday you still are good in most places.

Sweet, exactly what I wanted to hear! Thank you so much.

I'll go dropped over winter. Have a $6k list of parts I need to get for my VW so I don't want to go too crazy on the LS just yet.

Wait, you have a 25mm spacer up front and 40mm spacer out back??? Looks to me like 15mm and 25mm no?

Nice! Plus, you can change the center caps and have a whole different look. The alignment looks better with the spacers.

Ah, just curious as to if they were seriously that thick... Who makes them? I'm already skiddish over the idea of bolting up 12mm and 25mm spacers up to my LS...

These are not any special brands just some basic ones i got off some friends and local shop. Spacers are not much different its really just a block of aluminum with 5 studs pressed in them.

Ok you have given me hope. I have a set of the sc430 wheels too that I got off of CL for $150 got tires too brand new for $200(245 40 18). Please let me know what size spacers I will need. Car is still at stock height I do plan to drop it. Heeeeeelp! I have a 96 LS400.
