But to look really sweet, a drop is required. I'm not into slammed cars either but a mild drop is necessary for that sweet look.

Looking good Al!

To everyone else thanks for the compliments! Believe me when I say I cannot wait to lower the car but unfortunatly there is not much I can do since there is no suspension on the market for the LS just yet ......Hopefully very soon

Henry I am actually waiting on the Tanabe springs. From what I am told by my contact at Tanabe they will be available at the end of May/June. The Jic are a little on the stiff side for me plus I dont want my car that low anyway so the springs are a better fit for me.

Haha ... I knew I'd be in the minority on this. I just don't like lowered cars. We "old guys" got enough of that fad back in the '60's.

You guys never let me forget, huh.
Yeah, there was a time I swore I'd never lower a car.
Also swore I'd never get wheels over 19.
I was turned by the darkside............the evil empire of the south fl crew....and clublexus. Now I can't drive a car that isn't lowered. No slamming though, just low enough for that look.

Well, you know, Reg - lowering is the first step on that long slippery slope that leads to slammed cars with hydraulics that make them jump around and hop up and down on their wheels. Next thing you know, you'll be at car shows trying to make your LS jump higher than some guy's old Pontiac.

Looks great. Now I know what 22's will look like without a drop. What kind of wing is that?

Hey Al, there is something to be said about balance, You Got It! The car looks great & very well put together. Can't wait to see it in person.
