My car scraped with four people in the car BEFORE I changed to the L-Tuned suspension so scraping with a loaded car now doesn't surprise me. We're talking a 1" drop with the L-tuned suspension. Not a big deal in my thinking.

An additional comment on the feel of my GS430 after the L-Tuned suspension. I really don't notice much loss in ride quality while on the highway. I do notice road irregularities a bit more, but to me it just feels more connected to the road - a good thing.

To put it in perspective - my mom, who drives a '00 LS400 and wouldn't hesitate to tell me if she felt the ride was harsh or uncomfortable in any way, was in it several times over the Thanksgiving weekend and commented on how well it rides, so I don't think it's a problem.

 

Did you get new springs too? If not, that's a MAJOR problem.

The Win kit is very low. You will not be able to have your car towed (flatbed or otherwise), you jack will not fit under the side skirts and you will not be able to have you car lifted from the sides like most service shops normally do. Just a few things to keep in mind. (I wish someone had told me first)

 

The L-Tuned suspension is a great ride. Some people choose to get it installed at places other than the dealer which can be a problem. And yes, since the car is 1" lower, of course there's a greater chance of scraping speed bumps and curb stones, etc. But that doesn't mean Lexus hasn't quite got their act together.

My car will eat a 540i w/ sport suspension for breakfast.

 

Gee, Bit, I am getting sick and tired of you always beating around the bush - I'd wish you'd just come right out and say what you gotta say!





Did you get my email from yesterday?

 

Duude....Not to scare you but your going to scrape...Just warning you because I would want the same advice from one of you guys with a purchase that big, some kind of warning. I have the L-tuned and would never think about getting rid of it but I do have to slow down to usually the speed limit. When I had my stock suspension I'd hit the dip like a 4 x 4 and coast over it. H & R is even lower than L-tuned plus your lip and side skirts will bring your car looow. You will have a for sure head turner/Pimping Biatch magnet but you will scrap on driveways/Speed bumps/Dips unless you take them Verrrry Slow.

My two cents.
