Default 1999 LS H&R springs & TRAK+ finally on!

10 mm spacers in front and 20 mm in back...

ride is ever so slightly more firm but there's still plenty of floatyness, loving the ride height

looking at it now it makes me wonder why it was never an option to buy it like this when it was new... oh well 16 years later it finally looks right

looks great. Quick question. What size tire are you running? does the upgrade to an 18" wheel throw off the speedo?

thanks

I'm pretty sure it's 2xx-45-18 and that would not throw the speedo off.

yeah what he said ^^^^

they're 245/45-18, and they're as close to identical to stock as you can pretty much get... according to this http://www.anycalculator.com/tiresize.htm the 18's have an overall diameter about 0.19 percent bigger, so there's basically no difference. speedometer is totally unaffected.

That looks awesome! I am in the same boat, trying to decide on 18s vs 17s. Your review makes me look for LS430 reps now

I say get the 17s because then my 18s would be slightly more unique

ha ha ... now since you went from 18s to drop + 18s, I am trying to gauge how the ride suffered going from 16s to 18s. Then additional due to drop.
