What to do
Just got rims for my 94 Ls400 and going to get into the vip life. My ls400 is completely stock with 20 inch Ame wheels I think the specs are 20x9 fronts and 20x10 rears not sure on the tire size of the front but I know the rears are 275/xx/20. What coilovers do you guys recommend for a nice and snug smooth ride not looking to get major camber. Bodykits too maybe? and does anyone have a Vip table for sale?

the 98-00, especially in stock setup with its fender gap and drink coaster wheels is a TOTAL sleeper... everyone who gets into it (except for rob ferretti lol) is surprised by how much punch it has. and then you remember that its almost 20 years old and it really seems impressive.

My only complaint is that the fender gap is deceiving. I tried a few different aftermarket wheels and everything rubbed/scraped except the stockies at least when lowered on DF210's. Not wanting to hack/cut/pull I'm content with the stock wheels for now lol. I actually like the tall sidewalls in terms of the way it isolates the road noise. This is coming from being used to a riced out twin turbo G35 with 20" and 30 series tires + poly/alum bushings thoughout.

hell yea, V8 and RWD is the only way to go. it must feel nice to have torque now, not to sound too much like my former auto shop teacher trying to explain to me why his 1995 buick roadmaster is better than my LS lol...

You know what i mean then stroock the life of v8 rwd is the one for me i actually dont mind dumping a couple hundred dollars here and there for this whip since i can get sideways and actually have a pit of smoke coming from the back at side shows and other miscellaneous activities and for the fender gap lets just say i got so much room that i dont need to roll the fenders but if you do just know that there are dimples that will lightly show as for now i got the rims next is my regular maintenance. But heres a pic of the acura rl set up and the ls400.
