What size tires are you running? The 19s looks great! I have been contemplating on going 19 or 20 and after numerous opinions from everyone I had asked in the LS430 I decided to order my 20s over 19s.

That looks amazing. I wouldn't be looking to drive that low. Do you have any other suspension work other than the coilovers?

Lowered on Tanabe NF210 ( about 1" drop )
Front has Youzealand SS pro kit ( about another 1" drop)
Rear youzealand has not been installed yet but soon..........will update pics as soon as i do

19x9 +30ish 235/40
19x10 +30ish 255/40
running fat tire set up and it rides pretty damn smooth to me.

The reason i didnt want to go coilover is because I wanted to keep the smooth ride. after researching, i found that the NF210 was my best bet. Unfortunately after a few months, the car did not look low enough. Which led me to get the Youzealand lowering blocks. After installing the front, I was happy with the stance rolling on stock 18" 3GS wheels. I recently added the 19" Ritter and the rear gap is annoying the **** out of me so i will get the rear blocks installed asap. Now I'm kicking myself in the a$$. should've just got the Tein CS to begin with. More money but it might have been worth it. Im still happy with the ride comfort that i have. Its pretty smooth and no rubbing
Do you have spacers for those Ritter wheels? I found similar 18" but they won't fit without spacers because of big brake caliber.

I agree. I was really impressed with how well they flow with the car.

Here's my 430 with 19x8.5 all around, with 245/40/19. I know it has a lot of wheel gap, but still haven't decided if I want to lower it. I like the comfort of the stock suspension, plus I just put KYB G2's about a 1 yr ago. I would only drop it about 1.5" front and 1" rear. Any recommendations without loosing too much of the ride comfort?
