agreed, i love the massive exhaust but the car needs to be kitted for it to all work together imho. i also hear that it kills rear end clearance so i'm also surprised you don't scrape. i still want a set

What size tires did you go with? Also what suspension are you running? I like the drop one your car. Slammed looks good. But with a family and kids I need more of a functional shot.

With a rear lip even that would need to be chopped up for the exhaust to sit as straight as it does now. Either that or the tip would have to sit out further.

Tires are 225/40 & 255/35. I'm on BC's w/14K & 10K.

heres my functional road trip height. It has sat way lower but I think I will be sticking with this height unless I get a new road trip car. Occasional bumper kissing the ground and exhaust piping scrape but thats from pretty big dips on the road.

Its very functional. I let my teenage female cousin that just got her drivers license drive it.

after driving back and forth to Illinois about three times I figured raise the car up a smidge. I'm not tucking the front tire any more. There might be a two finger gap.

Although I miss driving ridiculously low, I figure to be safe than sorry on road trips.

Thinking about going with air cup kit for the front so I can go back lower. My rear isnt even low. Its tucking the rear tire barely but its 245/45. I want to pull a uhaul trailer and break necks while doing it. Havent hauled anything with my hitch besides my bike carrier and three mountain bikes.

Depending how much the rear compresses with hauling load will determine if my rear goes lower or not. I still need to redo my entire exhaust system if I want to go low in the rear anyways.

I still haven't had time to do alot of tourist things in this area. It sure is nice to drive around here in WNC though.

WOW! That is incredible! I can honestly say, that is the most awesome LS400 I have ever seen. I don't like doing anything custom to my Lexus, I like to keep it original and antique but if I was going to, it would be similar to yours! That is just so cool! Nice job!
