Smile Introducing my LS430 and I

Hey Guys, I'm new to the ClubLexus forums! I'm a first year college student fresh out of high school! I picked up an 2006 LS430, which is an Black/Tan ML. Its dropped on Megans EZ Streets, which hopefully will be mounted with UAS bags in the near future. Also got some goodies such as a Kurotuna, a black fusa, Garson type crown shift ****. Hoping to get some feedback from you guys in the near future.

Thanks bro! It rides a bit stiffer than stock, but its still smooth. I would of opted for LP's cause it has a higher spring rate, but this is fine for me. You got any ideas for rims I should get?

Well, I saw a member on the classifieds with 21 inch Leon Hardiritt Ritters. I'm also considering Lowenhart LDR (some of you guys might find a little too DUB) or the Locksmice Duke. I like that FAT 5-Spoke look, trying to keep it simple and classy. You have any ideas of rims let me know!

I feel you, which ones, the DH or SL? If only i could find the DH's in a really aggressive offset and size, I'd get it anyday. In my opinion its not worth the hassle of finding used ones for 2000, then rebarreling and repolishing. But hey, I'd still rock them.

Welcome. Hope you enjoy the car. A college freshman with a 2006 LS430...wow...where do you go from here? I am glad to see young people getting into LS430s.

Thanks Bro! Haha, not many people could be my age and have an LS. I'm really lucky I got mine. As for future plans, I'm trying to get rims by the end of the year. And by mid-spring ill hopefully score some U.A.S. bags as well as an SS Pro Kit, Nagisa FUCA's and RUCA's, to really set off my suspension. Im into the whole V.I.P. scene cause the rest of the cats that I know still whip around a Honda. Time to grow up. And thanks for welcoming me!
