Hey thank Celsior! I'll check my local junk yards first then if I have to got the ebay route. I'm thinking of ordering Coilovesr this week..Do you guys think Megans would be a good match for me? I'm not wanting to go so low, just enough to close the wheel gaps. I've installed coilovers before and can do the work myself. Cheapest I've found them is $699.00 w/ free shipping...chime in if you have found them cheaper. Other option is just springs....thoughts?

As far as shipping my original chrome wheels...shipper said between 125-175.
Make an offer on the wheels if you want via PM.

Also noticed receipts for magnaflow mufflers the previous owner had installed last year for 400.00. Well that's a plus!! I'm gonna get under and polish them up before the weekend!!

What a fine car. I love the sound system insert. I take it that was done after market by the previous owner? As for lowering the car, I agree. Those wheels are sharp and dropping the car on them will really kick the whole build up a notch! Love it.

I always liked the orange lenses more, but the clear lenses look best only on the white/silver LS400s.

Personally, the ride height looks great as-is with the rims, but your choice.

Update! Ordered new ESR sr-01's wheels today... going with 19x9.5 up front & 19x10.5 rears along with
235/35/19 front tires & 265/35/19 rears. Plan on ordering coilovers tomorrow from sonic on this forum..
which to go with?
God Speed mono RS or Ez Street II?? I'm not looking to go super low just enough to eliminate the gab in wheel to fender.

Should I order from SonicMotor here?

Thanks & stay tuned!!
