Thanks to Son and Joe from Dynamic in Midway City off of Bolsa... they worked to get the car setup just right and didnt rush anything. They have always been great to work with and really know their Lexus...

BTW... since I know this question will come up, the car rides so freakin smooth its sick, I can believe with the thin rubber and the coils set on the stiffest setting its as smooth as it is, but there is no vibration at any speed and the road feels smooth as silk, even when I know its not...
Ahhh... You're the one that Son was talking about. I dropped my LS430 at Dynamics yesterday and Son was talking about a person with Zone wheels and 295 in the rear on a Gen2 GS. Very NICE!! I agree, Dynamics is the ONLY place to go.

I'd say leave the drop as is...it is looks GOOD!

I agree, Dynamic is the only place to go, Son has totally taken care of the car...

Yeah, the rearend is fat... 295 looks good... as soon as I can get some decent pics, I'll post some to show everyone what it looks like.

So you got pics of the drop Son did on the LS?

Yes close pics of those 295's please!

I have Tein CS Coilovers on it and Son is raising it a little (more than half of the front tire was inside the wheel well), installing some 275's on the rear(had stretched 245's), and aligning it. This is my daily driver so the constant rubbing was driving me crazy. I am going to pick up the car today so I can't wait!
