Hey Dudes and Dudettes,

Just wanted to introduce myself and my newly acquired 2000 LS400. Thought I'd take the time and post a few picks as well. Looking forward to a good time here...

The ride is basically stock at this point; however, I've definitely got to do something about the ride height. It looks like a 4X4...

I'm also contemplating changing the wheels to something with a Satin/Polished look instead of the current chromies that are on the car...not sure just yet. Maybe after I drop it, I'll think differently...

So far I've met some really great folks on the various forums that I belong too. I hope the traditions carries on here as well...

Ciao,

Jitters

 

looks good! just drop it and it'll totally change your mind lol.

 

Thanks Li,

What about something like this...not too low....

I'll probably go with Megan CO's like I did on my SC...however, my only issue was the ride...nothing like OEM....

I just don't want it to ride like a track car...



Jitters

 

u gotta slam it

 

Gotta get the bosses okay on that one...also, I'm not looking to spend 5 G's on getting her on the ground...

Jitters

 

all u need is 850 .

 

Whoa, that drop changed the whole look of that car! Nice chop

 

Wow! Now that's in my ball park. What type of drop would that consist of? CO's?

Jitters

 

yep, Megan Racing Coilovers...many LS members are running that..including me. variety of vendors on the forum are selling them...contact them and ask for quotes, they may price match each other lol.

 

Welcome to CL and nice 2LS. Good thing you got the 98+, endless acceleration

+1 with LiCelsior, gotta slam it, I'm also in the process of getting some Megans.

 

Looks good. how many miles on it and how much did you pick it up for if you don't mind? trying to gauge the market prices.

 

So if i understand this correctly...You purchase a set of coilovers for say 850.00 and that compares to the cost of purchasing lowering springs,4 struts and upper mounts which when totaled will exceed the cost of the CO's...Am i on the right track?

 

coilovers > spring/strut combo easily. adjustable plus u can adjust the dampening.

 

Looking good! vvti motors ftw.

Clean looking 900 parked behind it, that yours too?

 

Ditto...

The adjustability of the coil-overs make them a better choice than just lowering the car with coil springs. Not only do you get the benefit of being able to adjust the ride height to your taste but you also get the added benefit of adjusting the ride to either soft or hard.
