Default Is it possible??

I was just curious if it was possible to put the reclining seat from the LS460L or LS600h into an 02 LS430??

I'd lean towards probably not,and would suggest fitting the factory reclining rear seats from a 430,as they will fit.

That would be a pretty silly and expensive mod. Why not put the LS460 Nav in it while you are at it

Congrats on your LS. Though it looks dated, My 2001 Ls430 is still a far superior vehicle than most new cars out there for the price I paid used. I always look forward to long trips in it.

Check out OE Wheels LLC for 18" sport wheel. They Are usually $540 shipped on Ebay for a set! It's a little more if you go to the site direct if you don't see them listed on EBAY. There is a detailed thread with pics below about the wheels. I love them, they really freshen up the look.

The Ultra Luxury package comes with rear reclining seats.

Default Thanks

Thanks for all the input guys, I didn't know they made a 430 with recline seats, also, I should have been more specific. I was referring to the executive seat in the back that has the foot rest that comes up. I just thought it would be hot to have that feature in my LS. I would obviously have to find a wrecked one and talk to someone for custom work, but the outcome would be sick, if possible. Thanks again, Mike

Those are LS460 seats. The ones for the 430 just moved around a bit (with massage I believe) but didn't have that leg recline support thing that pops out.

and... the LS460 with the recline seat and foot rest is for the rear passenger seat only. And... one last bit of news... this package is very rare to find. So, finding a wrecked on will be very difficult.
