Default SJGS. Slow LS430 Project Built W/ UAS Install

FINALLY AN UPDATE.




Hey Club Lexus.
Just picked up a 2005 LS430 about 3 weeks ago.
Always wanted this platform now i finally got my hand on one so
Im fairly excited to see how its gonna turn out.
Had some left over UAS stuff from my last built off my GS so decided
to do my Suspension before anything else.

Here is my previous built. Decided to part it out and keep it as a daily.






Got some Ksports from a guy on VIPSTYLECARS
Kinda fabbed it up with the UAS bags.


Noticed the Top Mount didnt fit the UAS bag Cylinder.. So decided to shave the top hats a bit.





What i did was drill Countersunk holes to mount the bags directly onto the Ksport Top Mount.
Im kinda upset cause I forgot to take pictures of the top. But heres a picture of the same thing.



Final Product with everything Ready. Bottom Piece I used was from UAS. It was actually Meant for Belstein Shocks for 98-00 LS400 But it Fits perfectly.



Messed around with the Valves, tank and compressors





Fabbed the wood to mount everything, with DUCT tape of course,
Screwed everything together and layered it with hardwood floors on top.

Fitted the Dakota Digital Air Gauge with the switches into the Air Tray Area. Temp Setup.. Yes. the wood looks all *****KED UP...




Got my plumbing to fit around that DAMN box.. with air line and Wires all hooked up..


Got the Tank and Compressors Mounted.


Test Fitting Temp Wheels..


Polished and waxed the whole car.. Paint like Glass.
