Sorry for the late reply, I forgot I even posted in here lol. Yes I can adjust the ride height on the fly. Its actually very useful since the streets in So.Cal are retarded. I still drive around with the car pretty low though

Guy down the road from me is selling one of them grills. Can get a price if anyone is interested, its a pearl white one. I Thought it was stealing bling from the car so never went with it.

Id like to know where you got your side indicator mirrors from tho and if they were a direct fitment.

L sport,, the grill is part of the Erebuni kit. I pretty much got it from Ebay as a test grill to see if I would like it and I saw where someone else here attempted a mesh grill but did not paint the grill surround(silver). I looked at it and kinda liked the look, but was not sure about it. Since the price was decent, and I knew I could always switch back if I didnt like it, I bought it. Was pretty much a direct swap (did have to drill some holes for the mount) and I still have to replace the hood latch (old one could not be transferred due to screws rusting locked). If you look very carefully (bottom center of grill) you will see slit where I need to reverse mount the new latch to. Besides I wanted to have a somewhat different look, and still have it kinda recognizable as an LS. Have received many compliments on it from ALOT of people, and I am happy that I fliped the coin to take a chance on it. I also have the Wald front lip that LP_Yang had on his LS (bought it from him) to go on. Unfortunately, it was cracked in shipping and is being repaired. Flip back a few pages here and you can see the condition of my car before the paint/bodywork.

The mirror signals are caps which fit over the existing mirrors. For the first gens (UCF10/11) depending on where you get them they are not a perfect fit, but REALLY close. I still need to do something with mine to make it look like it is factory. Problem ares for these is at the very top near the window, only if you look very hard at pics, you can see the separation. This too was another Ebay purchase. I have had these on since '06, and to my knowledge, was one of the few 1st gens here, to rock them.

Different vendor,, and looks to be slightly better than the ones I have. Mine have been on the car for 2 years already, and at the time could only find 1 vendor that had them for a 92 LS. Yes, those will work. Your biggest challenge will be playing hide the wire!!

Those don't show it fits a first gen, I thought you got ones that you retrofitted, no? Do these seem like they would work in your gut feeling??? Confusing Hmmm... says it fits the 1994 LS aren't the mirrors the same from 90-94? Pdrift, if your out there too what do you think?
