Default Finally...got my LS

Hi CL members! I've been a member for a while- but w/out a Lexus. Now I am legit! 2004 with only 23K miles. On with the pics!















Its stock for now. Just got it tinted last week. The best daily driver I have owned!

What do you guys think about suspension? Its not an UL so no air for me, but anyone have experience with full coilovers? How about springs? I heard the Teins CS are good. I had some Tein Flex on the Supra and they were really good.

I want to lower it a bit but keep the smooth ride. Any suggestions are welcomed! thanks!

Nice, and welcome. I just came onboard myself about three weeks ago, although I've been on Lexus forum for awhile, with my RX.

You'll never get into a better vehicle (except if your next vehicle is a Maybach or Bentley).

thanks everyone. The LS is awesome. I would like to drop it and get some wheels but I just need to do some research.

Black is my favorite color!

Welcome aboard. The LS is the smoothest DD

Regarding suspensions, go with the teins CS.
It's the closest thing to stock feel for coilovers. Had them on my GS and won't hesistate to recommend it for the LS

Welcome to Clublexus, and thats a pristine LS you have there.

As far as suspension, i've heard lots of rave about the Tein CS providing almost stock feel.
