Default Lowering an 1994 LS400

Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to lower an 94 LS 400. Its probably a dumb question, but I want to know how to slam the car. I Mean if anyone can tell me all the different ways to do it, that would be awsome. But I am kinda looking for some info on more then just a 1 inch drop. Im looking for more on the lines of 3-4 inches. I have seen many pics online and even on this site of LS400's super low. I have looked around a little bit and found some springs that drop 1 inch, but thats not much, or is it? Let me know whats up everyone! Let me know what I need to do, or what to get, what kind to get. Thanks!

The best route IMHO is to go with a set of coilovers...they offer a wide range of adjustability while improving handling and lessening body roll drastically. Another option is going with air bags/cylinders or hydraulics...they will give you the greatest range of adjustability, but the handling and body roll won't improve as much as having coilovers. If you try using the search function, I'm sure you'll find more than enough info on lowering your LS.

I agree, the adjustable coil-overs are the way to go.

Some additional info: as per the CVC, no portion of the body may be lower than the lowest portion of the wheel rim. The LS won't likely fall into this but the headlight may not be lower than 23.5" if I recollect.

Thanks Ill check around the forums and see what sounds good. What about the Eibach or H&R springs? is a one inch drop any good? How does it look? Is it pretty dramatic of a change?





Actually, does anyone have any pics of their 90-94 LS400's lowered? with different things like coil overs or springs, or airbags? If anyone out there has pics, let me know. i wanna check them out.
