My end result with the car is going to be a "LS430 F-sport". Mercedes has there AMG 4 doors, bmw has the m5 and other sport saloons, and audi has the S line.
I have these parts and chassis braces that make the car all connected as "one" piece, 28mm front swaybar and 19mm rear with poly bushings. All that coupled with my coilovers should make the cars handling super sporty.

Sounds good....look forward to hearing the results.
Now I'm interested after you posted that you'e got additional under carriage braces and ur intentions. These figs parts on their own are great but when you add in additional support pieces that work together to enhance the overall and work even better together ... the end result is planted and perfect. Like seeing this kinda stuff getting attention. Yes the critics will say it will take away from the cush comfort ride... but to feel the difference is much more desirable.
side note ... I'm currently eyeing their headers with the welded high flow cats. Seriously forgot about figs after my last partout but just might circle back.

I bought ultra racing chassis braces and there sway bars
As well as i would like to buy all the poly bushings figs has for the ls or ask them to make me a custom kit. I have the ppe headers on my ls and its a huge difference in my opinion, you loose some low end torque but the sound they make at around 3000 rpm is amazing.
05ls430518,
I see you have the strut tower brace installed. Do you have any of the underbody braces installed? if so, can you tell if it stiffened the body of the car any? My previous car was a Pontiac G8 (GXP) and I was surprised at how much stiffer that chassis/body was than the LS.
That tower strut bar looks interesting. I put a bar like that on an Acura Legend, and it transformed the way the car drove ! Hope the parts get installed soon and you enjoy them.
Thank you everyone for the kind comments soon as i get some weather that is 40° or higher in NY I will be installing everything and soon as the salts washed off the roads I will be driving the car and will let you all know how the car handles, stiffness of the ride things of that nature.
Thats my current engine bay as of now with catch can installed. Chassis brace Sway bars and other chassis braces.

So you traded and ls for an LS lol I do not have any of the underbody braces installed but will have them done this spring/summer. I bought all of the braces but none of them are installed except for the strut tower brace.
I also have bc coilovers with very stiff springs swift 16k front, 14k rear so my car totally lost the floating feel and is very precise. That coupled with the front strut bar make the car feel completly different from stock.
