I like the design, but I don't like the size. Too big. Too pimp. I wonder how it rides and if speed bumps and/or pot holes will cause sparks.

Actually 22" wheels on the SWB is not bad at all. The ride comfort is pretty much the same as it was on the stock wheels. That was one of my major concerns deciding what size to go with and I can honestly say I am happy with my 22's. The nice improvement is the better look, steering is a lot more sharper and the car seems to handle somewhat better. Having a good tire also makes a difference in the ride as well. Mind you this is at the stock height so I am curious to see if the ride changes after I lower the car.

As a side not, I have driven the LWB on many occasions and the ride comfort comparing it to the SWB is not much of a difference. The nice part about the LWB is the air suspension and being able to control the height, but I would not go as far to say it rides better than the SWB. I guess you can say it is all relative and everyone decides what their comfort zone is.......

hey al, are you going to put on springs or the jic coilovers? keep in mind that might affect the ride too, hopefully not much

Henry,
I am going with the Tanabe springs. According to the research I have done the ride will be better with the springs vs the jic/coilover which will give you a little more of a harsher ride. With the LS being such a big car the spring will give you a better damper thus the larger coils vs the coilover set up.
I am not looking to slam my car and just want a slight drop to give me the nice agressive look. I hope not to lose any of my ride comfort but according to what Tanabe is telling me, it is very minimal and not noticable.

I guess MISTERK can comment on the ride since he is the first to have the Tanabe set up?
