Yes The LS, well I know of LS430s, 460s, and 600s has the option for factory air suspension. Not sure about the LS400s.. Mine is an AWD system and if I had known that there are no coilover kits for my awd LS I wouldn't have bought it. Oh well, I guess I have to save for airrunners.

Definitely looks great! You're going to have to sneak some mods in somewhere.

Awesome build, one aggressive LS!

Did you ever get to complete the Black Pearl kit?

I'm looking for a way to get one from Japan for my LS430.. Not any luck since I don't speak Japanese

Keep up the great work.

As for the kit there is not much custom work u need to do, the Blackpearl kit fits like a glove.
as long as the wheels are fitted to spec.

I upgraded my wheels and I'll submit my specs in when I have the chance but it's a lot deeper. 22X13 rear 7" lip. So currently my car has been in the shop for 7 months getting metal work done. Flaring out the fenders about 4" using ulteriormotiveshop's custom flares.

Air ride suspension, I use airrunners.

Widebody Lex. Old pic, I had to extend the flares out another inch. So instead of 3 u see here it'll be a 4" lip.

That's dope you got a buddy doing the work for you! Backburner status but hey looks like after you get the car back it'll be well worth the wait as it's coming out quite nicely from what I can see! Hope to see more updates soon!
