KN,

99% of members on board DO NOT pay LIST price for the l-tuned items. we all think they are a bargain at ~$575 for springs and shocks. you need to call steve ganz@carson toyota in california for such awesome prices.

the l-tuned drop is quite mild, some like it perfectly, some do not think it is enough. very subjective opinions.

for those who prefer more drops, they choose eibach, or H&R springs + bilsteins sport shocks. (i can get you the bilsteins for $425 delivered).

or , there is always coil-overs if you have the budget.~$1200-1600, depends on brand

for your gs430, it all depends on when you picked up the car. $46250 is a bit much(~$500) if you got it recently(i usually do not like to discuss prices after people bought their cars; but since you asked). just enjoy it . you have the wood steering wheel, so i assume you did not get it in california(we rarely get that option in LA).

 

David, I think L-tuend is worth every penny of it. It is very aggressive on the front, (1.25 drop, and .9 back) i luv the suspension setup, so far i think its perfect if you have the 20''s on them. here is a pic

 

another shot

 

here is another shot.... hehe =D

 

That is the sweetest BMW I have ever seen, and those "angel eyes" give me goosebumps. When I get my M5 (if I like the new shape), I definitely want some of those.......

wood/leather steering wheel should have been included in GS430 ordered with NAV/LEV pkg

 

One option you may not see is the LEXUS dual mode phone-all have been recalled and no new ones are being shipped (problem with range & or electronics)

 

You wont see the Lexus factory-installed dual mode phone option-its been recalled and may not reappear for som time

 

I really want that option-wood/leather steering wheel, but I havn't seen one in our area (southern Cal). I would rather get that wood/leather steering wheel instead of chrom wheel that charge almost $2000 extra.
