haha thanks steve, yeah it was literally dropped like it was on air, and i still had maybe another inch and half to lower. but right now, i have it raised 2" so i can drive the god damn car! before i would be scraping my whole bottom, exhaust piping, mufflers, front bumper, you name it, everywhere i went. so it literally didnt get more than a couple hundred miles driving like that. but i must say, it turned alot of heads when i was rolling like that. haha.

Default Need Help With A Problem.

I Cant Get My 2000 Ls400 To Stop Wobbling ( Shanking ) When I'm On The Freeway I Have 20x8.5 With An 40 Offset I Still Had To Put On Spacers On The Front Due To The Calipers But The Spacers Are Only 3mm Thick & I Put On The Hub Rings. I've Done The Alignment & Balanced The Wheels. What Should I Try Next To Get Rid Of This Problem?

MAke sure your rims are tight. With new wheels, you sometimes need to keep torquing them. I had a problem like that with my 18's, but I noticed that I could tighten the lugs up a bit and it fixed the problem. Start with using the tire changing kit in the trunk. Point the handle of it to your right and put your weight on it a couple times for each lug nut.

Remember, do the star pattern - use the lug nut directly across from the other and continue until you've gone through all the lugnuts.

LS is very sensitive to wheel balance, so have them balanced on a hunter 9700 machine and u should be alright.

Default Right On. It's Fixed.

RIGHT ON TO PURE DRIFTER. I WENT TO A COUPLE OF SHOPS TODAY & ASKED ABOUT THERE BALANCE MACHINE. I FOUND A SHOP THAT FINALLY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING. I WENT STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOP & GOT MY RIDE WASHED UP & TOOK SOME FLICKS. TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS THINK. I'M NOT DONE YET. WHAT ADVISE DO YOU GUYS HAVE ON SUSPENSION? FOR A BETTER RIDE ON 20'S.

Nice...real nice. I would probably get clear marker lamps and remove the front license plate, lower it and paint the bottom white.
