The photos I see of our cars with the 22s and the stock height makes me feel like dropping the car may not be needed. There is not a large gap like we would see with a GS. Still looks pretty nice even at stock height. I am still waiting for the camber arm fix, but I had to admit that the LS460 still looks pretty damn nice with the 22s and even at the stock ride height. After driving an RX for a few days getting back into my LS was like riding on a cloud

I emailed a shop about the bc coil overs and they said that they are LS430 coil overs that they swap springs out for higher spring rate springs to hold the added weight of the 460. If I go coil overs on my car I am going to go with Megan racing.

the wheel gap in the front is what kills it the rears are fine but that front wheel gap look like donk status, almost 4x4, dont you think???

I agree that the front is the issue but it is not nearly at 4x4 status IMO. I think 22s at normal ride height of a/s equipped LS's have more of the excessive fender gap issue vs us on coils based on photos. Tees and I8ABMRs new cv1s looks just fine to me. I feel the best solution would be for H&R springs to make the OE spring option for our cars. That version is literally designed to just minimize gap and keep drop to under 1" all around which is exactly what our fronts need. Tanabes are about 1.8" up front..its OK for now but I wished it settled a little less than it did . When car is in motion, especially on highway.. the gap isn't really noticeable...Tee..don't sweat the drop homie!

Maybe someday HR springs will make the OE sport version..Check it out http://www.hrsprings.com/products/springs/

i agree with u when i had my infiniti fx45 eibach spring or h&r was all that was needed to achieve the perfect drop. but when they finally started making coils it was even better! personally it the car handled a little better ibwould mine stock ride height but its floaty n a drop will decrease that a little bit, might have to look for toms for a strut brace to tighten things up!!

I agree the rears look great the front is not bad just needs a mild drop, the a/s 460's sit at a 4x4 status but all you need a control module and you are done. BTW the 'Auto' emergency brake makes the rear squat down a lil bit more than with it not engaged, my next mod will be coilovers due to the flexibility they bring.

I am glad i could contribute to the thread build! Don't you love how it just peals off the Lexus L???!!!!

Tee

Still loving the look of the grill man, it looks so clean with 'L' all alone like on 460 Sport. I do like how it peals away but I taped the 'L' up to save time cause I'm lazy like that sometimes.

I like it stock better. Your car is so beautiful with that dark blue paint. In my eyes the chrome contrast compliments it better than the dark color. At least its reversible

I have to agree....I think the Obsidian models would be a slam dunk with the blackout spray, but that's just me.

I love love love my Silver LS and the chrome/silver look....couldn't see going blacked out on mine....
