If that's the case everyone would be doing that

I honestly feel bad today because I curbed one of my wheels really bad

I guess that's what I get for using the LS as a DD

Price quotes are outrageous!! Lol I'm out now gathering up the tools to do it myself (dremel and attachments, sandpapers, polish etc.)

If only my reaction was caught on video, I literally stopped the car immediately, grinder my teethe really hard, got out and just stood in front of the car for a legit 10 minutes cursing myself out. LOL trying to stay positive today

Yeah man it was just building up on a bad day. I did a custom alignment earlier and ****s completely changed my seating position and my even though the toe is much better the camber is still bad and it's causing the car to still pull to the right. SMH. I got so stressed out from the car that I left it at home

I've had that happen too! I was sick for about a week. The worst part is I knew it was there and it bothered me.

Good things happen to those that wait We apologize that some stock is low but we have CV1s arriving soon as well as 22" CV4s after the CV1s.

We offer a 5 year warranty as well as being huge supporters of the community here.

Okay so I cancelled the TSW Wheels and ordered the CV1 Wheels. Dealer says 3 weeks . Truth be told I feel less apprehensive about the purchase because I know buyers remorse wont seep in. (Vossens are just too damned pretty )........lowered the LS today on Tanabe springs. FWIW I can definitely tell the difference in the ride. I admit I am hyper sensitive to road feel because of my eh.......driving habits. The springs haven't settled in yet though. One thing I hadn't thought of is the added rattling of components being shaken on the chassis. It's what I would consider minor but def perceptible. All this on the stock wheels with the decent rubber cushion. 25 and 30 series tires will most likely exaggerate this to some extent. It's def a trade off albeit I have nothing to compare it to except stock springs as I have never lowered any of my cars. The floaty feel is gone. Body roll is significantly less apparent. I have experienced some slight "tuner" spring bouncing in swift road dips. This however is not approaching excessive and I suspect it's par for the course. Oh and IMO the LS does not look sexxy dropped on the stock 18's. hahaha......... all things considered:

Thanks to the guys who showed the way whom I am admittedly copying. You know who you are.

Most importantly:

Mike where's my swag pack ????!!!!??? (in my Samuel Jackson voice)
