Sup guys. I'm new to the forum. Bought my 98 ls400 about a year ago with the plans of keeping it as a daily. One of my good friends had owned 3 already and I always liked them after that so I finally decided to get one. Here she is as she started
After having her for a couple of months and getting tired of the old school tape cassette radio I decided to go with a pioneer double din with an amp for my highs and a soundqubed HDC3 12 for some bass. At 1600 RMS.. i must say that **** hits but i got a custom box built for it and it just took to much space in my trunk.. i rocked it till about a month ago
Anyways.. about 2 months ago I got the itch to start messing with this thing... she has so much potential and i was parking her in the dirt and treating her like ****... I started off with the purchase of some function form type 2's... Ive used function since my honda days over 10 years ago and always liked their products and customer service. My good buddy helped with the install and thats where it all started
These coilovers are meant to be slammed... **** was bananas... I obviously couldn't drive at this height so i raised it up as much as i could and started the search for wheels. Didn't take long since i found a brand new set of Leon Hardiritt Gemuts for sale. Being a 2015 model wheel and no one having them in my specs and color i jumped on them and picked them up about a week after the coilover install.
Took the wheels to the great guys at Fender Defender in Santa Ana Ca and got the car shaved tucked and rolled.. Then got the wheels mounted.. gotta admit i was pretty happy with the look
After driving the car for about 2 weeks and learning how to drive a slammed car all over again (had been atleast 5 years since ive driven a car slammed to the floor) I decided i had to bagged the car.. im getting into my 30s and well i dont want to deal with driveways and dips anymore haha... After talking to function form i decided to use their ONAIR bags which are pretty much Uas aerosport bags but with function's logo on them
3/8 fittings.
Now as far as management system went... i was 100 percent on accuair's elevel system... but after talking to the guys at fender defender and people that have accuair i decided to give Airlifts new 3h system a try instead... you really get more bang for your buck vs accuair. the display is beatiful and full of features that accuair either doesnt offer without purchasing more stuff or just doesn't offer at all... Ordered my kit from bagriders about 2 weeks ago and it came in a week. free shipping to.
system got installed this past weekend and well so far i love it.. no complaints.. fast forward 2 days later and here is what i got... we will see what happens next.....
Wow, what a nice build!������ How much were the wheels and where did you get them? And where did you get the sub box made at?
thanks! I payed 2700 for the wheels and got them from username Sensei.6 on instagram. Got the box made at a place called glendora auto sound in glendora ca
dang man looking good! love the build and killer deal on the wheels which are not very common! brand new too! what tire sizes?
i used fender defender in the past when the dude was doing it on his driveway, good guys great work. i hope to see all this in person someday, and your being pretty local i'm sure i'll spot ya.

got any pics of your old EM1?
215 35 19 fronts and 235 15 19 rears. Ya that's James owner of fender defender. Here is my old build thread for my honda Timmy http://forums.nwp4life.com/zerothread?id=5411&page=1
Dang, you're moving quick haha. Those Leon Hardiritt Gemuts are beautiful!
Also, hate to be a spec hunter, but by any chance do you remember how big of a box you had? I want to build something that takes up the same amount of space, but as a 4th order bandpass with a pair of 10" subs, and I'm wondering how much cubic feet you had with your old box?
^^^Nice stance Tony. I'm sitting just a bit higher on coils. The underside of my car is hashed although somehow my oil pan and exhaust manifolds are relatively untouched. Lol

Sorry man don't remember the specs of the box. I think i still have the box in the backyard ill measure it if i still have it

Thank you sir ya when i had it on coils i had it a little higher aswell
Looks great man, polish those headlights though....
the driver side is from the inside of the headlight. i just need to replace them but its not really high on my list. trying to buy other parts first lol
this car was in need of a paint job.. paint was faded really bad on the fenders and front.. i swapped out the wheels and took it in for a respray. also shaved the rear emblems and sprayed the whole car black. got rid of the 2 tone. here is how she came out.
Looks ****ing great, man! Is that basecoat/clearcoat or a single stage? I've been debating going full black on mine as well, depending on the price. What'd it run you?
