Hate to put this up but will do just for those who wants to know how much drop you get with cut tanabe springs Ive been on for the past couple of years... Coilovers on the way and wheels will be ordered soon... Specs: Tanabe springs (-1 coil fornt,-2 coils back) 17 inch generic wheels that were better than the stocks. 18's or 19's coming soon.

PS...I would like to know what problems or replaced parts you guys encountered needing replacement when going to coilvers? Control arm bushings? Upper and Lower? What SHOULD I expect to be replaced when installing coils?

I'm thinking about get the 18" LS430 wheels, but my back end is sagging due to worn shocks, should I do the shocks first to avoid any tire rubbing or does it matter?

Default My setup

Here's my setup on my 98 Ls400 setting on D2's
WALD 19x10.5 +10 225/35/19 Fornts and 19x11.5 +11 245/35/19 Rears
Rubbers rolling on are Coopers tires
Both Fronts and Rears are stretch to MAX!!!! Scary for a daily driving!
Plus had to roll/pull all four finders pretty far out to fit these offset wheels
