If you run coilovers on a LS.....

what kind and how low can you go? on 20's

I've decided to get another LS430 (last one was totalled) and I might not be getting a UL.......

Thanughts?

any pics?


Thanks

Im running TEIN CS in my car!! currently it not at its lowest setting but it can go atleast another inch or so!!

Here is another one!!

Here's mines with Tein CS and Junction Produce SS kit. The JP SS kit will give you an extra 1 inch drop at all 4 corners. The Teins are fully cranked down in this pic.

cool thanks for pics so far,,

can you drive with lowest settings on the coils?

Yes...I am currently running at the lowest setting on my Tein CS (without the SS kit) and on my factory 17's. I do not rub at all. If your overall wheel and tire diameter is larger then your stocks and/or the offset is more aggressive then stock then you may experience rubbing.

With 20's I rubbed while turning and driving up steep driveways.

can you tuck front tire on 20" with these?

I didn't tuck tire on 20's. But even if I did, I wasn't able to drive like that as I would end up rubbing.

What is the JP SS kit and what does it do? BTW, VERY clean car

The JP SS kit are drop brackets which drop the car an extra inch at all 4 corners. It works with all UCF30 and UCF31 regardless of what suspensions you're running (air suspension, coilovers, stock struts, etc).

Try doing a search or checking out my previous posts. I posted this up in earlier posts (with pics).

if you decide to sell ur Teins,let me know!

so is this how it looks with no camber adjustments?? or were there some made? i'm looking to do a coilover setup but want a little negative camber in the rear

We have a few LS customers on BC Racing coilovers.

Compared to most others, BCR coilovers have bigger internals, beefier shock bodies, locking lower rings (so the height adjustment rings don't work loose), and a better damping curve. They end up being a lot more compliant over rough surfaces. And they tend to last longer.

Overall the BCR coilovers are just a nicer piece, for just a bit more money.

Bigger internals means more surface area for the shim stacks and valves, which leads to a smoother ride and better tuning of damping. The larger shock bodies means more room for the internals and a stiffer cartirdge, which means it will hold up to much more abuse. The BCR coilovers also come with a coarser thread, so you can adjust ride height easier and quickly.



Feel free to PM us with any inquiries. I have personally run BCR's on 3 of my vehicles and the CMS STi runs a BCR ER series.



Also FYI - Pillowball bearings will provide a more direct and solid feeling in your suspension but they will also make the ride a bit more harsh and transfer more noise and vibration. A lot of Lexus owners like erring on the side of comfort. So BCR provides the option of pillowball OR rubber mounts.
