I decided to get the LS because it just seemed a little more pratical than the S500 MBZ I was looking into.
It might not be as smooth, but much more smoother than a slammed honda.

Yeah thats the size I am getting. Toyos sounds like a good tire, I'm also looking into the nitto 555 and the falkens................
Off the subject do you guys know if the H&R sport springs are any good........someone is selling some new in the box for the LS on ebay..

I believe the member Silverflare has H&R's. AlsoI would stay away from Nitto 555's too much road noise, they are noisy, they dont work well in water, and I got into a accident because these tires dont grip that well.

Thanks for the complement.
Yeah I go there once or twice a year to visit. There are a lot of cool cars and parts for sale there but most of the time you have to order the stuff you really want. Kinda hard when I only stay there for about a week when I go so most of the time I dont really try to get anything. Maybe I'll order the parts I want before I get to japan so that it will be there by the time I leave.

Heres a pic of a Gloria I saw when I was walking around downtown Shizuoka
