Wheel/suspension/brakes
Alright so I'm thinking of getting a 90-94 LS400 soon and was wondering what mods I would need to do for a few things.
1. I have a set of 95-00 LS400 calipers I want to throw on but not sure on the mods needed to be done.
2. Car is the ultimate one that has the air ride features but the stock air struts aren't on. If I get the stock air struts what else would I need to make the air suspension to go lower and move a bit faster like those aftermarket kits.
3. I have a set of 19x8.5 +22 with I'm thinking of running like 245/30-35 and the rears are 19x10 +22 with 275/30. Do I need to roll fenders or pull? Would the front clear the 95-00 4 piston brakes?

for the 2Ls breaks ur going to need to buy the 2Ls lower control arms,
for the rims if your lowering the car then those tire sizes rnt going to work, u would need to run no bigger than 225 front/245 rear or u r going to have rubbing issues.
and as far as clearing the brakes, it depends on wat disk the front rims are. if they are high disk than they will clear fine and im not to sure about starndard disk. But if the front is low disk than it wont clear without a 15mm spacer.

1-you'll need to trim the brake dust shield, install 2LS (95-00) front lower balljoints (not whole control arms), and make sure that wheels fit.
2-the stock style air struts arent made for riding low, and tend to blow rather prematurely when driven with low pressure. plus even a remanufactured set is easily $1000.. if you want it to feel like aftermarket air, go UAS, airrunner, or the like.
3-weak sizing, 8.5 isnt really enough in my opinion. what look are you going for? those offsets arent nearly flush, especially in the rear.

I got too lazy to search and I know clublexus people are much nicer and more helpful than my.is haha.. I'm trying to go towards the flush more VIP style. What widths would be best to go with front and rear for a stock body with shaved fenders? The 8.5/10 are what I have to work with for now so I would have to run spacers or something..

those are closer to flush than pd is making it sound, and moreso in the rear.
15mm f/10mm r spacers will have you nice and flush with a careful roll/trim. as is you could pull off a nice tuck on air without spacers and too much work if you can clear the brakes (depending on pad height/spoke design).

Well it's gonna be shaved off completely. No air right now or camber going.. Gonna be at stock height til I either go air or coils.. Maybe get some springs for temp.. I wouldn't have any problem with the wheels and tires? Rubbing/hitting problems? What springs drop the most?

Test fitted the wheels and it looks like I would need to probably run stretched tires.. Well they work for now but stick out a good 3 inches or so.. They are 10.5 +22.. The fronts arent too bad with 225/40 they stick out like 3 fingers. Not sure on what to do about it now haha.. Go coils and camber it in? Or save up for a good while and buy a air setup.. Everywhere I look air set ups are soo expensive though...
