Everything is bolted down in the trunk, so nothing moves at all.

Update - Maintenance - Megan Racing RCA
Hello fellow CL members,
Hope everyone is doing well!
Little update - Did an oil+filter change, powersteering rack poly bushes, fitted some new Megan racing RCA and did my 3rd transmission drain/fill.
Next on the list is the valve cover gasket, I think the driver side one is slowly starting to leak!
(ps: special thanks to Dan @ theautolounge)
All comments welcomed!
Yann.

Nice work ! Did it lower your LS ? Lets see some pics
Its very easy, just remove the lower ball joint bolts and fit the spacers - just make sure you adjust the brake shield as it may rub on the disc.
Thanks for posting that video!
It's very straightforward, this helped (the rca is a single piece here but same thing)

If you're running less than a 19" wheel though there might be a clearance issue

I just read every post in this build thread. Amazing detail. I just got my 2004 LS430 UL couple weeks ago finally after wanting one for 20+ years! I am looking forward to enjoying it as is for a bit but a build/detail maintenance of some sort is coming. I may need to reach out to you for your guidance and expertise. I live in Atlanta area also. I also have a Hellcat Charger on bags so that is something I def want in the future.
