haha thanks guys! and i actually am picking up my wheels on this friday. check em out:



and about the a/s controller, i think i'm just gonna go with coilovers. don't wanna waste the money on an air ride controller if the air suspension is gonna blow, ya know? so i'll probably order some JIC vip flta-2's on friday as well.

That's a beautiful car. Very clean looking with ridiclously low miles for a 17 year old car. The previous owner looks like they were only averaging about 5000 miles a year!

trust me when i say that the ride and adjustability you will get with the factory air will never be matched by any aftermarket susp. with 80k mi. and no rust its going to be a while before your susp. blows. ESP. if it doesnt have a single leak atm.

wow your car is awesome. If i may ask... how much did it set you back? Fully loaded ls400's are pretty rare. And in that condition! it looks new.

Keep the air suspension it is a dream compared to coilovers.
Also plan on a similar wheel eventually.
very nice.

i picked up the car for 5600. yeah, the air suspension IS nice, but i don't want to worry about it blowing... cuz you know, it WILL eventually blow, and then i'd have to buy coilovers anyway... i don't know though. i have some hard thinking to do...

Nice looking ride! That colour looks sharp.

Your new wheels look fairly similar to the ones on my Celsior so here's a preview of what they might look like installed...

Nice, where did you get air sus controller and how much? When you lower the car to where it looks really nice, its easy to bottom out the shocks since there won't be much travel. That is the primary reason why I am going to coilovers soon. My car has a LOT of miles and the shocks have no leaks so don't worry too much about that. I did have to replace one shock when I got the car but it was due to something that daily driving could not have done . I could of gone coilovers already for the price of that one shock...if I would have only known...
