Hey Gang,
I picked up a white/beige int 1995 LS400 a few months back. I wasn't sure how I wanted to do this build but I decided a mix of Battle Stance and Bippu is the way I'm going.
Any tips on what you guys would like more info on, or more posts about from this build let me know!
Stats- 1995 LS400, Pearl White/Beige Int. All original, accident free, 3rd owner, lexus serviced. Factory Cel phone still operational.
Here are the plans and parts so far.
Suspension- PBMax coils, Serial 9 full rear kit and front upper control arms. Done!
Wheels/Tires/Brakes- Fifteen52 Tarmacs 18x9.5 , Unsure about tires yet, Cryo treated cross drilled fronts, Cryo Treated rears, On their way!
Motor- Baselined right now. About to do a valve cover gasket and new radiator. Also needs a new trans mount. Timing belt and fluids have been done.
Body/Interior - Looking for a Carlsson trunk. Getting side window visors this week. Redoing the seats with some Japanese kimono fabric for the inserts and hopefully redoing the leather to a darker brown to break up the crazy all beige interior. . All wood trim will eventually be changed out, not sure to what yet. Prosport gauges ordered (the water temp gauge on the dash is iffy, and I decided to just get a separate gauge rather than rebuilding/repairing the cluster)
Custom floor mats being made.
Thats it for now. I'll be adding more info as I move forward.
If that is a picture of your car you need to check and make sure of the build date. If its a 95 you have the rarest car there is. Because that is a Gen 1.
8055y, I'm glad you want PBM coils, I absolutely love mine! Mine are a custom build, but I've had they're out of the box coilovers and they are amazing. As far as the tarmacs, I ran a set on my UCF20, they did not clear my brakes and did had a much too conservative offset for my flared fenders and baby camber at the time. If you don't do any serious fender pulling/flaring and keep camber at the minimum, I'm sure they'll fit and look great.

Nope, it is just a quick PS composite. The image was the best one I could find that matched the perspective of the wheels image that I had.
Yea JDMBro, So far I like them. I had to play with the damper settings to find a level that works best for city driving. I'm at 9 in the front and 10 in the rear.
I did consider changing the springs, but I'll wait and see how it rides and sits with the Tarmacs.
As far as tuck/camber- the fenders are already shaved, and I don't plan on going much lower than another inch- inch and a half.
