Hey All,

ya, for sure I will post more pics..

the only thing I didn't like was the 15mm spacer they put on...the front wheels aren't flush with the fenders any more...but with a few mins talking to the R&D guys at Rotora, we can do down to a 5mm and be coo.

Ah yes Rotora I know the feeling although you went one better and did the rears, hopefully I will eventually upgrade to the rears as well. Awesome brakes you will love them.

That kit looks sick on your LS. So the rotors are 15"?

Ya, the drop is a bit weak! Went with Eibachs just to lower quick....but going to be putting Tein CS or Air Runner set up.

It looks outstanding. Any feedback on how the brakes feel? The LS 430 brakes are already some of the best in class. Thanks.

Your car looks sick bro... I'm glad everything worked out for you. Loren called me on Tues and gave me a heads up on ur car. Looks sweet! If you need custom wheel spacers, contact Luxury Motorworks and they can make you any size spacer you need. CL member Bluelex had them do a custom front & rear spacer setup for his Rotora BBK. PM for more details..
