Default Hello............Pics added

I have been hanging out for a long time now just soaking up info on our rare, yet timeless cars. I wanted to finally introduce myself. A 94 GS pearl white/silver is the weapon of choice. This is my first Lex and let me just say, I am not dissapointed one bit, even with the age of this car.

I have used alot of tips from this site, thank you all. At the moment my baby is down for further mods. She is currently sporting a staggered set of 19" MRR GT1 wheels. Dropped on Tanabe springs with KYB shocks (great ride by the way). LS400 front brakes. And to make sure she feels as good as new, the interior has been fully restored.

I am currently working on fabricating upper controll arms to adjust the camber problem we all face after lowering our GSs. As of now I have custom made RCAs, custom polly urethane bushings, energy suspension universal sway bar bushings, and a few more suspension mods.

Like I said before she is down right now, but I will post some pics as soon as I can( as soon as I clean her). I will also share some of the upgrades that are installed along with the new ones.

Welcome!

Very clean!!! Aristo front bumper I see...

I put on the Tanabe/Kyb combo too, but lots of negative camber lol. Need to play with the control arms too...

Any interior pics?

Right now the headliner along with all the inner pillar trim is out of the car getting relined. As soon as it gets back together I will post.

Just wanted to add that the Tanabe springs alone did not drop it that low. In the front I have roll center addapters. In the rear I had to cut some off. It still rides good for how low it is.
