Hi guys, I traded my 07 IS 350 for a 2001 LS 430. I just simply wouldn't be able to afford the IS after the divorce but still needed a 4 door car that I like driving. I wanted to stay with lexus after driving the IS for almost 2 years. So, anyway, found this super clean '01 LS 430 yesterday at a local dealership. First thing that I want to do is lower it and then get some 19s or 20s. Then, have the windows tinted

So to lower this thing, Do I just get a set of nice adjustable coilovers, or is it more complicated than that? I read something about air controllers or something like that for adjusting ride height? How do I know if mine is equipped with that? Thanks guys for any help.

 

Well if your car has factory air ride then you can get the "datasystem" controller. Oh yea you need to come out to our meets too.

 

damm thats pretty clean

 

I don't think it has that, I don't see any signs of it. Shouldn't there be some kind of adjustment buttons somewhere?
The IS had Tein cs and I think I am getting a set for this one. I've been to one of the meets in my IS. Thanks

 

Beautiful car man, truly the LS is the king of Lexus'

Have it put on air, with some nice rims that would be pimping!

 

Thats my next car too. Ive been debating finishing my gs build or do the LS430, and get a stroker kit from cowboy

If you havent already, you must visit my ultimate LS430 thread. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=296891
Enough eye candy to make anyone an LS fan.

PS: I want a ride in your friggen car

 

Sorry to hear things didn't work out with the Mrs. The LS is a very nice car and I'm sure you'll grow to like it better Congrats.

 

i have Tein CS ver.1 coilovers and 20 inch chrome TSW off my 01 430 i sold saturday for a 03 IS300 wagon, lemme know if interested will gice you a great price! and the Teins are in the LS430 classifieds

 

I love the LS. Gimmie Gimmie!

The air ride is on the Ultra Luxury packaged LS. Yours is not one. I went with Universal Air on Bilstein struts for my 02' GS.

What are some of the tell tale signs ? I suspected that his wasnt. Do all of the UL's have the radar cruise sensors in the bumpers ?

 

I'd say the most obvious is the air ride controls usually located...

 

yea, you do NOT have factory air ride. But if you PM "anotherLS" He is selling Tein CS (comfort sport) coilovers which would be a good way to go.

 

That'll definatly do it. Any exterior clues ?

 

Shopping for wheels May have found a set!!

Will these sizes fit with no issues? Please say yes.

19x9 +26
19x10 +29

 

I can deal with fender rolling if I have to.
