What kind of wheels you got in mind?

How much ride comfort did you lose?

 

Nice man! Looks great already. You should start a build thread on LS430 builds tab.. Looks like you'll be moving pretty fast with this!

 

Thanks man! Its a lil bit bumpy but not like you think with the BC BR coilovers you can keep the floating feeling by adjusting the dampening soft or you can make them as stiff as you want. I'm not a floating type of guy so I went semi stiff in the front and semi soft in the rear. Then adjust the spring preload a few times on all 4 shocks till I got the bump and rebound feeling just right. But let me say it feel like I'm driving an IS350 now. My mother had one a few years back, and of course I drove it a few times here and there (aggressively I might add lol)but yeah. To me that's almost exactly what it feels like comfortwise.

 

I don't know what wheels I want yet I need to look around some more and get some ideas. Nothing to flashy or big. Not going bigger than 19s but I definitely wat them to be dished. I have been looking at some ESM, works, etc. But I don't know what I want yet.

 

great start!

 

A few weeks back my Mark Levinson factory sub blew so I went on my favorite car forum (Club Lexus) to see what people used as better replacements. I ordered the 8 inch POLK audio sub. I was going to do a step by step of what I did to get it to fit, while still using the factory harness and mounts but my old phone broke and all I have left is some snapchat photos saved on an SD card I took while doing it. So all of the cool soldering, heat shrinking, and fabrication pictures are gone. Also if you notice that the ML sub looks like it had been pushed in, well yeah my friend had fun with it, making the blown clicking noise with his finger, he's an idiot. Anyways ill post what ever I can find. I love the new sub it hits harder sounds better. It is definitely a lot more durable and better built IMO. I am very happy with it.

 

My coilover springs and struts finally broke in about 2 weeks ago I lowered the car more and readjusted my stiffness a small amount. I also found some old build pictures going through some old SD cards, from one of my 2 Honda civics to my 81 Trans Am, and 67 Impala. I will post a some more build if and when I come across any more pictures in my old memory cards. Keep in mind I absolutely love cars imports domestic, and independent I don't care I love them all!!! (except for stupid modified cars) So here is my K swaped EJ8 civic, 383cu.in Impala, and another 383cu.in 81 Trans Am. I have a few more builds I will look for later. But I want to focus on my Lexus LS for now

 

I would like some wheel suggestions I want to go with 19 inch wheels dished with thick spokes. I appreciate any suggestions thank you guys!

 

welcome, good start so far.

 

Cant wait to see some proper wheels on this. Looking good man.

 

any chance you have details of this project. I love the solution.
It hooks to Aux I assume?
