Default UPDATE on the ls400 #2

what's going on, guys!
i know that I've been mia for a while and haven't posted squat.
i know that the last thing i posted was me selling the lexus and that was it, but i decided to keep it and
ever since, i've been working on it.
i replaced the valve cover gaskets and started sanding the car down per panel.
i also upgraded my suspensions from tanabe lowering springs to type 2's and got some rims for now.
the rims will be up for sale soon.
needs a ton of more love but i'm just barley getting started.
here's what it looks like!

How are you enjoying the Type 2's? How are they for daily driving?

type 2's, i love them. they're amazing, comfortable and affordable.
i haven't maxed out yet, but my UCA's are making contact with the strut housing. i haven't got around to cutting and making clearance yet.

I'm guessing he means Function and Form Type 2 coilovers. His wheels look to be 18x9.5 but i could be wrong.

Yes many people run those same wheels without issues. Just be prepared to roll your fenders once you lower it to fit the wheels. You can even google search ls400 and there's a few pics of them on mmr hr3's
