1-stick to a dual 2.25 w/x-pipe, 2.5in causes low-end tq loss on the LS.
2-the shift **** and steering wheel will bolt on, but the airbag will need to be custom wired and even then, will not work the way it is really supposed to. (single vs. dual stage bags)

fitment is alright, but the rear isnt flush, needs about .5-.75in. to get the lip even with the fender. roughly 15-20mm
properly aggressive fitment (if that is the look he is aiming for) is part and parcel of looking good. if the front is going to be aggressive and flush, the rear needs to as well.

Damn, looking good bro! I just got my megans 2 weeks ago and I am pleased with the ride also. I have a 99 LS and I have 245/35/20 on 20/9 front 275/30/20 on 20/10.5 rear. I have a 2 finger gap all around, I had it sitting lower but I was rubbing in front so I raised it. I can't imagine having mine that low,how the heck do you do it?

Car looks sick as hell man. I plan on getting an sc300 or 400 next march and i am also considering getting a second car which happens to be a LS because you dont want to be in south florida without a car. Especially when your primary ride is down...... But anyway seeing those pics makes me really want to purchase one as a second car so i can cruise around and just chill out during the work week and the sc for the weekend.

2 things:
1-stick to a dual 2.25 w/x-pipe, 2.5in causes low-end tq loss on the LS.
2-the shift **** and steering wheel will bolt on, but the airbag will need to be custom wired and even then, will not work the way it is really supposed to. (single vs. dual stage bags)

.... i mean please inform what i did wrong, i put the longer two coil overs in the rear. threaded the lower castings all the way snug with the shock body so there as low as they can go, then made sure there wasnt any pre-load on the spings, "springs are almost loose enough to spin by hand" then tightend the collars.the only way i see to make the rear sit lower would be to loosen the collars an let the springs droop down witch would cause the shock to be pre-loaded an take away from ride comfort.
everyone, please excuse my grammar/spelling errors hahah
