Hey man

I decided to go for the TANABA LOWERING SPRINGS for my LS460L .. As this is the only way to do it because we are not on Air Suspension as GCC specifications.
http://www.tanabe-usa.com/springs/sp...tions.asp?id=2


Vehicle Lowering :

Front :1.5 Inches = around 3.8CM
Rear : 0.8 Inches = around 2CM

they cost around 500USD for One set of 4 springs including shipping to UAE
If u like, we can order together and save on shipping ..

Let me know as soon as possible because I'm placing an order in 2 days

your 21s will be fine. I have the same setup (NF210) with 21 x 9 and 21 x 10.5.
handling is a bit better. As far as noise, that depends on your tires.

BenLS460 - after the NF210 drop on your 22's how low is the ground clearance on front and the side skirt. I am think about doing the same drop on either 21 or 22 or maybe 20 depending on the ride comfort. How would you rate the ride you have now compared to stock from a rate of 1-10 (10 being stock ride)

Also if you don't mind posting your tire size, I would appreciated.

Thanks,
Ly
