If you are referring to my picture, I'm still in the works to get the front suspension / stance right. I'll wait till I get it perfected. You can see on VSC, I have a thread there.

This is the epitome of a perfect stance and wheel fitment on a LS430. For that Rev, I thank you!
This is my personal favorite thus far. Looks the most street-able and everyday usable. Some of the others look don't look too kidney safe. Most cars I've rode in are pretty punishing on airbags. Hows this Silver LS ride?

this one ride cherry. i have a controller to adjust the car height for photos only but i drive it on 0 all the way around. just a little bit stiffer compare to when i first got it at stock height.

the only thing i don't like is when i have fat guys sit in it depends on their weight the oem suspension will air it up slighty where is not as sexy. so far i find it me solo or me and my wife is good.

you can see the whole build thread here

It's like you have a small helicopter.

"Sir, could you please step on the scale? Oh, um, please sit in the right rear seat while we balance the rest of the load. Or, better yet, ride with Bubba in his lifted F350."

the 20x11 +0 is 25mm wider on the outside (more aggressive) than the 9.5 +6 so i believe he had them right but the inner difference is 13mm less in this case, if you reversed them notserp then it would be 25mm inner difference and 13mm outter difference, i could be wrong but i think the original ones waijai put up were a better match cuz 25mm is a lot of inner offset difference to have on the inside without any other mods. hmmm would be interesting to know which were correct now
