GS to LS Family
Brief introduction...Sold my 2nd Gen GS and picked up a 2007 LS460L about 2 months ago. So far I am enjoying it and have no regret selling the GS. Only did a few minor mods so far.
What amazes me is the comfort level of the LWB even on 22s. It ride so much better the the GS with UAS/Tein CS or the family Sienna. There is noticable road noise due to the low
profile tire but yet so smooth.
Suspension: Data System Air Controller (Only way to go if you have a LWB)
Wheels: Vossen VVS083 22x9 +38 and 22x10.5 +35 (Yep, another LS with Vossen)
Brakes: Replaced OEM rotors with drilled/slotted. New ceramic brake pads. Powder coated the calipers to match the body. This was a big decision but I think it turn
out great...especially in motion. I have had a few postive comments so far. Added Lexus decal on the calipers after it was powder coated and then sprayed on a clear
coat for protection.
Lighting: White LED interior lights. HID fogs(6000k)
Future mod: Body kit, window tint and clear bra.
All comments welcome. Enjoy!!!
Here are a few picture of the GS:

The car looks amazing. I too just came from a GS to the LS460. I miss my GS350 but I am loving the LS. The refinement, styling, and power are intoxicating. I thought my GS was a luxury cruiser but this thing is the ultimate . I am also adding a beautiful set of Vossen wheels on my ride. The are going on tomorrow. I will post some photos when she is all done. Initially my plans were to drop the car but I have decided to try to ride it at stock height in the interest of preserving the ride quality and to finally after 8 years of dropped cars not to have to replace my tires every 9 months. I am so excited. Maybe when the thrill of the new car wears off I will drop it with a set of the Megan Racing coilovers. I fantasize about a set of tires that would last longer than 12-14k miles. lol

WOW!!! This is hot man. I just bought a GS 350 about three months ago and love it but I would give it up in a second for an LS. If only I could get 30-31 mpg on the hwy in the LS, I would be sold. I love what you have done with yours.....Keep it up!
