Congrats on the LS purchase. You're right about the condition, it's top-notch, especially on the interior

Thanks for the complements guys. I love the way the car drives and feels....very different from my old car.
As for the S2k .....that belongs to my roomie and the GS belongs to our neighbor who just moved in.

Here are some pics of the wheels I just bought .
Need to get some tires soon.........already itching to puth them on.
I also bought H&R sport springs........Do you think they will drastically change the buttery feel of the car and do you think I might have a rubbing problem with the 20" wheels?
Thanks guys.

Congrats on your new purchase. Just love that color combination on the LS, same as my 91. I also love the look of the 98-2000 UCF20s. This is the model year I will be looking to replace my 91 when the time comes.

Thanks for the complement guys.
As for the 20" wheels I've been told it should'nt be a problem to put those on besides sacrificing the ride quality a little. I'm still a little worried about rubbing problems.........I hope it'll be ok . If anyone as experience with 20" wheels on their LS please post their experience.
Thanks.

By the way LordofCelsior told me that there is going to be a LS photo shoot .....who is attending?
