Here is mine, I liked the LS430 stocks on this. (don't have them anymore)

nice... yours looks even lower, i'm actually pretty happy with how the H&R's turned out. at first i was worried the front might still be a bit too high but it's actually pretty much perfect

I love the ride height of your car. So if i understand you correctly all i need to obtain that exact setup is H&R springs and the TRAK+ spacers? I went to H&R's website and i didnt see the 10mm spacers. Did you get them elsewhere? also where would be the best place to find these parts at the best price? I plan on upgrading to the exact wheels you have as well.

thanks

yeah for some reason H&R doesn't make 10 mm spacers... for the 10mm's i actually used Ichiba V1 spacers. i figured i'd use the TRAK+ for the bigger spacers being that H&R seems like a slightly more established company (their website seems a little classier at least). i bought everything off amazon, the springs i got for $270 and the spacers were like $95 and $110 respectively. looking at it now though, i think 15mm and 25mm might actually be a bit better (H&R does make both of those sizes) because i didn't really take into account that the wheels are now slightly more negatively cambered so an extra 5mm at both ends might be even better. i'm glad you like the setup, thanks!

Thanks for the response

bump to ask about camber after lowering. Can the alignment be adjusted to factory specs after H&Rs?

Stroock639

yeah that's no problem. i actually have my back wheels slightly more positive.

damn you've lurked here for a long time lol

i believe any drop within ~2.5" can be aligned to stock specs. anything more and the rear toe cannot be corrected anymore. that's been my experience on coilovers/bags on our cars.

Clean lowering nice choice on the spacing; just right behind the wheel wells. You "could use time and resources" to cut a dead coil off the fronts but then again you know best to leave it unless you're really being picked at by the height

How many degrees of adjustment can the ls400 get out of stock components?
and
What was your final alignment settings?

Stroock639

the ride height is perfect as it is, i wouldn't want it any lower, especially in the front.

whatever the stock alignment specs are that's what it is. i had my shop put the back wheels at just the maximum allowable positive camber, so there's a bit more positive camber in the back than stock. i don't know what the range is but i'm sure PureDrifter or someone does.



definitely leaving it as is

Man! Looking good! I wonder if I could do those same springs but with a 20" wheel.

LudeAEM

You mean negative camber. Like a / and not \ but good to know you can still hit factory specs. Thanks

Stroock639

no i mean positive like \

LudeAEM

Not to create a pissing match but this is not positive camber.

Stroock639

i know, but that's an old pic from when i first got the springs on.

sorry maybe i wasn't very clear. since then i had a few degrees of positive camber added to the back but the overall camber is still negative. i just meant that the back wheels are slightly more positive than the original specs call for, like at the end of the acceptable range so they match the front. once the springs settled it squated down even more and i didn't like how the back wheels looked because they didn't look as flush as it did in the front.
