I looked up your car on other threads and it seems you are on NF210s w/ OEM sport shocks. Is this correct? And are you running 245/45/18s?

bnr34, yea I agree the ls is kind of a tank so I had to do that. Thanks again everyone! I know that one door on the passenger side of my car looks darker in the pics, but I can't see it in person. The original owner said it had never been painted or had bodywork.

What great pictures. Hope that I can get mine to look like one of those.

hope somebody can help me. I'm having suspension height problems and was wondering if anybody knew the front and rear standard heights with air suspension.

Many thanks,
Bhusan.

Thx Scott -

My better half and myself have been LS owners going back to '93 and wouldn't have anything else. They're just such a great overall value, especially the one owner 'gently used' variety we've always opted for.

"love the brick driveway!" There's another benefit to owning LS's - they're so well built mechanically that they don't leak oil (knock on wood) so parking on our brick driveway isn't a problem.

Here's my contribution! The tires are a bit small (245/40-18). I'll get the appropriate size (245/45-18) when the tread is ready to go! Sorry for the dirty car. haha, Enjoy!
