07LS460L

Does anyone have some good advise about cost of lowering my 07 ls460L
and if its something that may void my CPO warranty?

Thank for any help with this and whats involved?

do you have air suspension or not?

well, if you lower your car and your shock blows, then of course no warranty. but if your engine blows, they have to warranty it

depending on whether you have air suspension your options on lowering is different

I don't have an LS but I have lowered all my Lexus cars and none had voided warranties. If something in the suspension ever goes wrong your dealer could give you a hard time about it but nothing otherwise.

The cost...depends on who does it and where you live.
In South Fl I pay $300+ for lowering and that includes alignment. That doesn't include the lowering springs or coils.
Springs are around $275-350.
Coils are anywhere from $1500-3000.

I hope this helps.

the spring installation will be more for ls460 since the whole rear seat has to come out to access the strut tower

if it's air suspension, then it's different too coz' there is no springs to change, it's just controller

I would like to know is it a must to lower on 22's?Not trying to jack your thread...I have the air suspension so controller might be the way to go..anyone rocking 22's without lowering?

imho, you always need to lower the car if you are to put on larger whees, otherwise it won' look proportional

LOL....okay I get the point

I beleive I have air suspension. Just got it but has the high adjustment, sport and comfort controls so I'd imagine its air suspension. Anyone know someone good in south florida to get this done at?

I agree..22's without lowering may look tacky.

if you have height control, then yes you have air suspension. you can get the air controller, plug and play, to digitally raise / lower your car. you can email chung@prestigioussociety.com for more info, that's where i got mine and it was a few hundreds cheaper than outside. i know a few other members here also got theirs from ps

Rominl and others using the air controller... are you happy with the plug and play unit? Was the install easy? Any concerns to be aware of? Thanks in advance for input.

oh i couldn't be happier. that was easily one of the best for the ls460l i had. install is pretty easy, i have done 5-6 and i have never had any problems. i just put the unit in glove box, very straight forward

So you have the infomation for prestegious society other than and email. I am in south florida and wondering about cost, if its a DIY job or let them progfessionally do it. I am planning on putting 245, 35, 22 on from and 285, 25,22 on back with TSW nardo wheels. Any feedback on those? JM lexus said they would do the install for nothing as Im friends with the manager so I prob feel more comfortable letting the dealer do it, throuw it on the alignment machine and make sure its right. Thought?

installing the air controller is not that hard at all, i probably spend more time testing and checking everything works right more than the time to install it. of course, if dealer can do it, it's a plus (i can't imagine how they can mess it up. plus ps includes the instructions anyway)

the tires look weird, why 245/35 and 285/25? it shouldn't be that much difference in profile, i suppose it should be 245/30 front??

07LS460L

No particular reason. So you thinking go 3o in the front and 25 in the back...

Does lowering really make that big of a difference or is it just preference. Ive seen alot of comments that you need to lower it but dont want it to look to much like a young sports car. more executive style without losing to much of the ride. What do you think?
