No pictures yet, I'll take some and post them this week.

The ride is still smooth on the highways and streets. The only noticeable differences are when I'm turning hard on an off\on ramp and going up my driveway since I am very familiar with how it's suppose to feel. The look and stance is better since the wheel gap is less prevalent, but not too low to where it looks like a ghetto Lexus. You can't really tell that it's lowered when you're looking at it alone but when I'm parked next to another LS430, it's more noticeable.

what's crazy is that the car starts up and runs like new, aside from doing the timing belt about 3 times, he's been okay.
Same here I use mine for chaufuering ita 2001 currently 257k and still drives very well, replaced both cats @193k Hight commpressor @ 226k .other than that routine servicing all at lexus. Oh and hello from the uk alan
