Default Celsior.. very high at front?

I just got this toyota celsior 1994 a few weeks ago and i recently got some 2nd hand rota grids... i know 17s are probably a bit small and yes i know it needs lowering...

But my question is... why is the car so high at the front compared to back.. it looks funny as..




Haha

Also any suggestions?

I had the same thing with my 90 celsior. Funny thing, one of the previous owners had put in struts and springs from the rear of a CL9 Honda Accord in the front and put the rears of a LS430 in the back. Check if the struts are original.

Due to callout, the local Lexus parts department inventories rear springs for 1993-1994 LS400 because they are prone to age related settling and or corrossion breakage. Both rear springs extracted from a 100K 1993 LS400 were broken at the bottom coil
The car appeared dropped...

Replaced; Rear springs, Struts(front and rear), front and rear spring insulators. See item #48257B in attached rear suspension parts diagram.



Ride height restored and ride improved considerably.

Looks like wrong coils in the front and rear coils shot due to age.
