Hey all. I'm Steve. I've had it since April. As of now I've put wheels on and lowering springs. The exhaust was by the previous owner right before the cats and I like the sound so I've kept it that way haha. The wheels are Modtech 521s. 20x8.5 up front and 20x10 in the back. I would like to at least do coilovers in the future if not get airbags as well as paint it. There's a lot I'd like to do but a little at a time. Oh and I've already had to do the capacitor fix on the ECU as well as replace the alternator and battery. Next I'll have to replace the MAF sensor.

looks good, sits good, why would you want to lower it?? leave well enough alone

I'm a fan of having the wheels tucked at least a bit which is why I want to go lower but I am also about the drivability which is why I am really considering airbags.

I agree with Billy. Well kinda. Just gona be another scrapped and messed up under side junk yard queen and such a nice not messed up upper side.
I wonder when there will be laws about goofing with stock ride heights and suspension systems? They really need them, and I'm usually the last person that would ever say that. I just don't like to see all these cars ruined. Sorry

I would really like to know how much it costs to do that to an LS? Because I see them like that going for $1000. on Craigslist all the time. If that body is as flawless as it looks and all factory paint. And a low mile correct year I'm looking for with the options I'd pay a decent price. A price that you will never ever get for that car now. Its messed up. The belly has scratching and who knows what else is messed up. Gosh I wish it was a ford Taurus or a Prius maybe a 2000 up Cadillac or something other than an old Gen1 LS400.

I traded for another car I had. The body is far from flawless. It will need paint soon as it has begun peeling on the roof and trunk. The right rear panel lower portion of the panel is sanded and primer. There are dents here and there. It has 170,000 miles. I have only spent $200 on lowering springs. The wheels and tires I had previously bought. I'm only lowered about an inch with these springs. No scraping or rubbing. If I put airbags I wouldn't ride with the car lowered. I'd raise it up and drop it for show. So I've put a total of about $450 in this car with springs, alternator, battery, and ecu fix.

Thank you. The springs are H&Rs. The exhaust is straight pipes.

Your a good photographer if its as bad as you say, it looks flawless in the picture. Well can't tell if the rear door has a little dent or it just shadow.
