Hey everyone,new member here from phoenix.
here is my 2004 UL Ls430.
i bought this car a few months ago.
i havent done much to it yet,other than replace the cracked windshield and have it buffed out.
i installed my PoweredByMax coilovers today.
i still need to make a few adjustments and lower the rear a bit more..but here it is so far.










here it is with the coilovers on.ill post better pictures tomorrow when i lower the rear and wash it.


Here are a few of my other projects





ill have more updates soon
thanks for viewing!

Thanks for the kind words guys,i love this color too.
here are some more pictures with the suspension settled.
18 and 20k springs arent as bad as i though.its actually pretty comfy still.
im hoping to go a bit lower and get the exhaust done soon.
more updates soon

dang 20k/18k on stock wheels is probably comfy lol. but once ya put on some skinny 30/35 series tires then im sure thats out the window. one thing that bothers me is the uneven back plate that was bent up. i think those jdm angle plate holders are $20-30 now?

i guess i did forget to take tire size in consideration lol.
a friend here has 20 and 24k springs in his Ls with low profile tires and says its not too bad so i guess ill see when i swap wheels and go with a different tire size.
i bend the plates on all my cars,its just a habbit now.







See lol

looks good. I do like flint mica. But why did you choose "NOTVIP" as a vanity plate?

Thanks guys!
i got notvip because the vip scene is getting big and people automatically assume thats the route im going with for my 430.
it was more to be funny but only a few people get it lol.
