Exclamation Update!

Finally getting some work done on the LS...Still waiting for some more parts to come in
but heres alil update:



I did the install myself & surprisingly, it was very easy!
Only pain was taking the backseats out to get to the rear suspension.


Once we got her on the ground AAautoworks started working magic!!



More updates as things move along....

You have quite a build going on here.
Can you help me with the link from where I can order this. The OEM on 2001 is quite ugly.
