Default picked up the car last nite

ok guys,

picked up the ls460 last nite at longo lexus. btw, if anyone is interested in a lexus, give joon kang a holler. he was a pleasure to work with.

so i decided im gonna go with 22's over 20's. to all with 22's, what series tires did you guys go with? any pics? i would like to also see what kind of lip depth you guys are getting.

also, has anybody lowered the car yet? i have the swb. if so, what springs or lowering kit did you get? how much drop?

has anyone gone to an audio shop and disabled the lock on the navi so we can use it during driving?

how about the ipod integration for the headunit?

thanks for the replies in advance

i haven't heard of any springs or coilovers for the car yet

for tires, i THINK 245/30/22 and 285/25/22 is what you you need for tires (according to spec)?

Congratulations on your new LS, does yours have any wind noise problem? Whether yes or no, when is it built?

If this isn't your first LS, then you KNOW what a treat you're in for!

If this IS your first LS, then prepare to be blown away, both initially, and over the years of driving!

Here is a thread about iPod integration with the LS 460.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...highlight=iPod

The car is still new, so some of your questions (lowering, etc.) are just being done. Searching the forums may yield some results, I think some people may have lowered or seen pics of lowered vehicles, but it's still a bit early to get lots of data on this.

As for your wheels questions we have done quite a few of these with different wheels. on 22" the average lip size is 3.5-4.5" depending on brand. TPS is fully compatible as well

Here are a few pics (all are 22" wheels)

ZONE1








ZONE 8
