Hey guys,

I've been on the lookout for an LS400, I wanna buy one. They seem like very good value for money cars but I would like to know how these cars feel. Are they sluggish and sloppy in the corners, or do they respond well in these sorts of situations? Any help appreciated.

Thanks

 

before or after megans?

 

like a boat before and after.

 

hmmm mine handles much better after i got megans but i also have a strut bar,and better tires for cornering than u(bridgestone zri 235-40-18)heres some reviews

and i could have my coilovers set differently than u do

 

mine still handles like a boat...lots of sway. i also have strut bar. 245 front 275 back, nexen 3000s up front and sumitomo hrz2s in the back. mine is set on 25, i like a softer ride.

 

It's a boat, but nothing like those POS Crown Vics that I have driven at my academy...those things look nice but they are the worse in terms on handling and blind spots!

 

Sorry,

Forgot to add that I wanted to know how it would handle stock. BTW, thanks for all the replies ><

 

sorry bro but nexxen's suck, i had them on my car at first and they are horrible tires...i got mine at 10 in the front and 15 in the rear...u mean htr z2?

 

Also while I'm at it,

What are the LS's pros and cons?

 

You'll never know by someone telling you. Go test drive a few for yourself.

 

you're buying the wrong car if you're looking for handling in a luxury car

 

yep there u go. but if u really wanted to make it handle like *LIKE* a sports sedan then u need stiffer susp, bigger sway bars, upgraded bushings, the whole shebang.

 

Kaydee, I agree with you 100%

 

yup I was actually like you when I bought my SC (another boat) thinking that maybe I can tweak its suspension to suit my then aggressive driving style...but them after almost 2 years of owning one, I drive slower than any grandma

 

Hey Python, after a few thousand miles they will get softer and you may find yourself wanting to stiffen them up a little. It's funny I was one of those people that was nervous about the ride quality of the megans, but after starting out really soft and after toying around a little I have found that they ride better set a little stiffer.

The reason for that is the spring is overpowering the strut and it has very little control over rebound, so when you are on the freeway for example and hit a small bump followed by a small dip or miltiple small bumps it would tend to throw the car up slightly on the bump and rebound hard on the dip. Licelsior have you played with the settings at all? You should mess around with it a little stiffer setting, you may be surprised how it turns out as I was.
