Well update time since my last posting on this thread.

It's been a busy week for my LS.
New tires. (225/45-W18 Avon Tech M550 A/S)
New springs (H&R).
New strut rod bushings (poly).
New pains in my body from doing all the installs at night after working all day. Well worth it tho.

Tires are sticky but noisy as heck, but I got 6 of them for $100CA on kijiji cause the guy was putting 19's on his RX8. I'll eat them up this summer and get better tires next year. Nice to be rid of the SUV tires from the RX tho.

Next on the to do is front bearings and timing belt.

Before.




After.




Am I in serious trouble or can I wait a month or two?

i suggest u change the belt and waterpump...u might wanna give it a tune up as well, get OEM wires from the dealer, they come with the proper plastic pieces that harness the plug wires and make it so much cleaner...are those wires 5mm?

Not sure...
That's what came with the car when I bought it 2 years ago.

I was in there changing the coolant temp sensor.
I need to get that belt ordered and decide if I want to shell out the cash or spend the time with the DIY.

OEM wheels always look classy. Never seen these wheels on a LS though, it certainly looks good!
