Ditto. Let us know which sleeves you used and how the car rides with it. That intake is probably good for sound only

I'm using NNR coilover sleeves, my buddy bought them for his Honda and later upgrading to coilovers so I asked him for them. They are strictly to get the car low till my air comes in. The ride is bouncy but I also don't have any tension on them, I spun them all the way down. For what they are, there actually not that bad. I'm happy for them being free. lol. I may cut a coil or two off once I put the wheels on today, we'll see.

never knew sleeves from a honda could hold up a heavy cow like our LSs haha! as for the intake, sure it sounds good but for performance the gains will be minimal. foam filters are not known to filter well though they give better flow due to it. check out the jbrady or lexcoast intake mod for other ideas.

I sure hope no one decided to just do the same and keep it that way. 4000lb accident can be worse than a 2500lb civic accident.

I'd suggest raising it up so that there is some piston travel to avoid over stressing the other rubber mounts in the suspension. This also translates to the engine and tranny mounts.

Nice start... I can tell you came from the 240 world by doing insane mods like Honda Coilover sleeves lmfao... I just recently sold my last 240 about a year ago now and only drive lexus products. Welcome and enjoy a new beginning.

I prefer the silver polish look esp with the color of the car.
