Default broken_tsi short build thread

I'm not going to be doing a lot to my LS, but for the things that will be done, I'll document them in here. I'm pulling all of these pics from instagram, so it may or may not work.

Found an 07 LS460L with factory air to replace my 10 GS350.



It is not AWD.



I got the Datasystem Controller from JZS International.



94 Lincoln Town Car look.



Got an amazing deal on VIP Modular VX-110's in 22x10.5/0 and 22x12/-6 from vipstylecars.com.



I believe this picture was on level 2 in the rear, so plenty of room to go lower once I have camber.



Doesn't look as bad from far away.




I will be heading to Denver tomorrow to Figs Engineering to see what they can work out and start developing for the LS460's. Max camber with minimal tire wear was one of their goals, so I'm sure that will make a lot of us happy! I'll keep this thread and instagram updated with pictures. IG: broken_tsi

Do you have any angle pics with the 22 x 10.5 and 12 on the LS. I was going to get these wheels but it seem like it requires a lot of work to make it fit without rubbing. Doesn't it stick out close to an inch? Love those wheels!!!

Yes I did, I even had a head start on it.

What angle did you want to see? I'll post up a few, but I can take more. I spoke with a few people and -6 degrees kept coming up for the rears without body work, which I didn't want. I hit Figs up a while before this was even a consideration, since I was pretty much set on the VR01's on here for sale in AZ. Once they said we can get something going, my #2 wheel became my #1.

Sorry! I forgot I had a photobucket account. I'll start hosting them there instead.

I really have been searching for something fairly aggressive on the LS460, but haven't found much yet. There's the white Platinum car, but I can't find any info on the setup. I hope I don't disappoint!!

Holy crap...you think a -6 will cover that? There was another member on here from SoCal with a -7 camber but i don't think he was running that aggressive. If you can make that fit, it would look awesome.

I surely hope we can get it under there! Do you have any pics of the -7?
