Maybe a fathers day set of springs?!? I will admit I am not liking the fact that the front of the car feels so floaty when I go over depressions in the road surafce.


Has anyone noticed how low the spring rates are on the LS460 for the Tanabe set up. The springs are rated at half the spring rates you would get on a M45 Infiniti.

The Red caliper paint really shows how large the stock brake is!

I love your car!! You are really inspiring me to paint my grill black you should put a blk "Lexus" sticker on the calipers to give it that extra touch but that's just IMHO...but damn that's a clean LS

O BTW how do you like the Megan exhaust??

Yea I was thinking about doing that but i searched ebay and couldn't find the brake decals. I wanted to be different from all the other LS's on the road so I decided to paint my grill black. This was my second time painting it, my first time I kept the chrome trim around the grille and didnt like it (see attachment) . The megan exhaust I like it. It only growls when I push the pedal to the medal

thanks for answering my questions, you have definitely inspired me to paint my grill black

i was searching for an exhaust awhile back for the LS but i gave up in fear of getting something that i wouldnt like (my old thread...https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...t-options.html...) so i am really temped into getting this exhaust... so i was just wondering is there any drone of any sort or anything that you dont like about it? also did you get the mid pipes as well or no??
thanks ^_^

...also what chin spoiler is that??^^^^

it looks great

Actually, I'd say it looks perfect. That's just my opinion of course. I just don't believe this car should be slammed. Just a nice conservative drop with 22's and the LS460 changes from boring to baaad!

Can we get some side shots. I want to see how the car sits with the lower drop in the front. The car looks great with the painted grille and the lip. You have done a nice job with your LS

If this wasn't the LS I would go to any cheap shop to have them install it at low prices but since there is more liability when installing these Im going to do it at the dealer. I asked them 3 days ago how much nit would be and they said it would only be the labor rate for 4-6 hours ( time needed to install them) also there's a guarantee that nothing will go wrong with the back seats with the disassembly and reassembly.
