Hey guys,

I finally got my wheels and tires. I upgraded my 91 LS400's stock 15" rims to GS400 Platinum Edition 16" wheels. I am trying to keep the look close to stock but get a bigger wheel for a better ride and more traction.



What do you think?

By the way, does anyone know what labor should run to have lowering springs installed? That gap between the top of the wheel and the fender is really going to bug me now.

Thanks,

Rich

 

Looks pretty nice!

 

depends where you take your car too.. if you gonna lowering it, you might as well change teh struts from stock

 

Thanks!

 

I just replaced the stock ones about six months ago. I wonder how long they would last if I lowered the car one inch?

 

wont make a difference.. should last very long time.. what kind of struts? i assume kyb or tokico

 

I have always liked the look or 5 or 6 spokes, Nice clean 400, When I went to Dealer to lower my 92 SC400, they wanted like 500 and that was 10 years ago. I shopped and ended up going to a alignment shop(half the dealers price) and had the car aligned also which is a must.....

 

Those wheels look so much better on a LS than a GS.
Sweet LS.....

 

Actually I replaced them with Lexus OEM.

 

Thanks for the comments and advice. Nice avatar!

 

Thanks!

 

then dont lower.. you'll kill the life of your shocks in no time.. thats what sucks about going to oem.. you cant lower.. live with the fender gap

 

Ok, thanks for the advice.

 

Looks great Rich .

If you recently replaced your shocks then I would wait on lowering. From what I have read, coilovers are the way to go. They improve the handling and you can change the amount the car is lowered. I would save up some cash and buy coilovers.

 

coilovers are discont for the 1st gen LS... unless someone knows where to get them.. only JIC makes them
