profile shot looks sweet .... but for some reason , when its a front shot , it doesn't flow right . it seems like the front needs a little more drop to even out . like the front sits higher than the rear . maybe it will even out after some time .
but all in all , looks good .
but all in all , looks good .

Thanks for all the feedback. First off, I'd like to thank DaveGS4 for offering to sell me his super clean, well maintained LS. Next, I'd like to thank my boy Tony for helping me go up to Dave's to pick up the car and carrying the L-Sportline Kit and extra wheels back in his 4 Runner. Thanks to Steve Smith for painting and installing the L-Sportline kit. Next, big thanks to Mark Yuen @ High Society VIP for getting me the absolute last set of Shallen AX's available. Big thanks to Shin and Tony for helping me get all the wheels and tires to Kauffman Tire and hanging out for a bit (we were hoping to do a photo shoot, but the suspension took a bit longer than expected). Thanks to Mikey @ Kauffman for setting me up with the install of the suspension, wheels, tires and alignment. And finally, thanks again to Tony for taking the amazing photos. The LS turned out exactly like I envisioned!!! Thanks everyone.

I KNEW someone was going to say it!!! Congratulations PureDrifter on being the first, and I'm sure not the last, heheh. Actually, I was thinking of doing Air Runner, but I plan on using the LS to travel in style, luxury and comfort, down to Florida on family vacations and other long distance trips. Besides, I initially liked that slammed look, but it's kinda losing it's attraction for me for some reason. I was worried the L-Sportline susp wasn't going to be enough of a drop, but it sits just right for me. And as far as everyone running the L-Sportline kit, what can I say, great minds think alike, heheh. It didn't hurt that the kit came with the car too, not installed but still. Actually, I almost didn't put it back on, the stock lines are so clean and classy on the 2.5 LS's.

I am kind of tired of seeing this kit myself , i feel like i see it every single day LMAO ...kidding.
Something about it just seems off . I personally love that wheel just not in chrome as i am thinking about it for a next set but in a machined finish.
Probably the height that is throwing me off. Change the color and drop it and it is a winner.

you have the actual LSportline suspension or LSportline springs with regular Bilstein HD shocks? easiest way to tell is that the LSportline-branded Bilsteins have 4 perch settings on each shock vs. the regular Bilstein HD which have only 2.

Looks clean bro - I like the 20's - wish sometimes I went bigger than 18's but I will survive. Knew that car looked familiar on this site. Those shots with the tires in the back seat look outrageous - freakin fat

Steve 20's make the world of difference on the LS... and if you get good wheels and tires the ride will be as good as the 18's.

Well i am glad you got a car that YOU love as that is all that matters. I hated my spoiler until i installed it and it looked so much better but could use the ends being sanded to make it flush.
I am glad to see i am not the only one with fitment issues with the Lsportline kit as the chrome trim doesn't line up properly on mine either.
Try taking some pics of the car on more flat ground instead of on a hill and i think it will take care of the jacked up look .
