Here's some before and after of the 15/25 setup: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...pressions.html

I've lowered it an inch on Tanabe springs since that thread and there still aren't any significant rubbing problems. Are aftermarket wheels in the future for your LS? If so, it's awesome to have spacers on hand. Saves a lot of trouble if new wheels don't clear our big calipers.
Yo! I actually used your thread for kick starting the project, thanks man!

I'll install the rears first. The fronts will need some test fitting, maybe some camber. I would just like to tuck them with no problems. We'll see.

Hot mamma, nice ride.

It's been 2 weeks since we last saw the sun down here.
Down to meeting up man. PM me your IG.

Looking great, are those studs longer than factory 12x1.5's? Just curious, Have a couple that are stripped but would like extended for the fronts cause I have to use a 6mm spacer to clear brakes...

What type rear deck spoiler?
Hey Tom, thanks!

It's the Black Pearl Complete trunk spoiler. I had it overlaid with real carbon fiber @Dinnmanncf. The guy is on IG and he does fantastic work, excellent customer service too. Can do any part in real any pattern CF you need.

Received my spacers today. They are incredibly clean, and very well wrapped in the box. I appreciate that kind of finishing.

I'll see if I have time to put them on in the weekend.

She's dirty, but made it all in one piece to Seattle, WA! This is my drive height preset. I have it set at 112 PSI in the Front - 77 PSI in the Rear. I find this combination to be very comfortable and a reasonable height for big dips and high
pavement.

You can see the spacers installed as well.

\\excuse the dirt, 4 hour trip!

I am able to clear every dip or high pavement you can imagine. You can see how the front is higher just a little bit more than the rear. That's so the carbon fiber lip doesn't scratch

She's a daily.

I think the factory are 40mm length and the ARP's are 55mm, so they're like 15mm longer? Did you compare by chance?

Hey ultm8mind, the ARP's are 70mm long from head to end. The "UHL" or Under Head Length is 66mm.

You're correct, the OEM ones are 40mm long, and UHL is 45mm.
