Smile suggestions for lowering 91 ls 400

Club lexus is awsome! I have received a lot of information from this site.
Thanks to all who have posted!

I am looking for some advice on lowering my 91 ls 400. I recently purchased and installed 235/45/17 tires and now the car looks a bit lifted. I think I am going to go with the Eibach pro springs to lower the car 1" in the front and back.. anyone out there use them? do they really improve handling? any problems with this tire size and the Eibach pro springs? Do I have to replace the shocks/struts with the new springs or can I use my factory shocks? they seem to be fine still. What is the average cost I should see for labor only to install the four new springs?

If anyone has pictures of a 90-94 ls400 lowered with the Eibach pro springs please post.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

here is mervlinks car with Eibach Pros, he has 18in tires so your gap will be just a little bit bigger.

hope this helps

Also I suggest swtiching to after market shocks/struts because your car will become every bouncy and your stock ones will wear out very quickly.

Any suggestions for the most inexpensive place to get the tokiko blue shocks and struts for my 91 ls 400?
