It’s lowered on ls460 lowering springs 1.75 all the way around ... I have a brand new set of ideal Japan coil overs that I am contemplating to install. Matter of fact I have it on eBay for sale right now
My new 2019 LS500 - bought Dec 2020 (dealer was motivated to sell - got it for less than I could find a used 2018-2019 LS500).
My 2019 LS500
It replaced my 2004 LS430 UL: an oncoming car turned left in front of me; I was probably doing 35-40 mph when I hit him, totaled both cars. I got nothing more than a slight bruise on my left shoulder that I didn't notice until it turned yellow about 5 days later. I'd been driving it since 2007, had 220K+ miles on it. My 2004 LS430 - Totaled
I just purchased the LS500 Inspiration Series last month (couldn't believe they even had one of these). I fell in love as soon as I saw it and just couldn't resist. My biggest car purchase ever but totally worth it.
Definitely inspirational! Hard to find one smh. Might have to build. Beautiful car congrats!
Best of both worlds, for my liking - Upgraded luxury package with Pano, Inspiration series style wheels with a newly installed rear spoiler. I like a sportier look, but also wanted a light colored interior with all of the luxury. I personally prefer the spindle grill in grey with its contrasting shades of grey and black, and love the fact that the side mirrors and pano compliment the newly panted wheels. Had the wheels painted high gloss black - so when my wife curb-checks it (which I am sure she will), I don't have to worry about the complex chrome plated paint (Inspiration Series) or chrome plate (stock 20 inch vapor chrome wheels that I had sand blasted off). I'm keeping the original chrome lug nuts because of the fitment, but I am waiting on black lug nut covers for the chrome lug nuts. Some folks say that the chrome lug nuts accent the center caps, but I disagree. Personal choice, I guess.
Lexus's approach to attract younger buyers and make a bold statements with artistic design and curves... mission accomplished. I'm a 47 year old with the 2 younger girls. My kids go with Mama in the GX mostly, but they are extremely happy to go with Dad now in the huge backseat with their own sunroof and space. Also, it is very cool to ride solo to work and various functions, listening to the killer ML system. (Gotta turn down the bass with the old school RNB that I like to listen to sometimes though.. Little disappointing there..)
Love this car, hope to put many many many miles on her.

That rear spoiler was from eBay, excellent buy, only $300. They painted it to match and shipped it very well. Just had to use extra adhesive on the tips, as spoilers that are not actually drilled in love to start bowing up on the edges over time. Lexus wanted $1,600, and there were some others sold from Japan that looked more like a tiny piece of weather stripping - and was STILL on the expensive side. So with the strong bond on the sides, I expect to get 4-5 years out of it, hopefully longer. I'll replace it again over time if I have to, no problem, for just $300..
So I finally took it out in the snow, drives amazing, crazy I've never wanted to really drive it out in the snow, this thing is amazing in snow. Of course when I got back to my car I didn't have a snow cleaner so had to use hands lol. I think my biggest complaint is other drivers the car stands perfectly slips little under slippery conditions and does a good job of correcting itself, its nothing like the NX what a difference.
Had my 2006 black on black for 9 yrs. Most likely the greatest car ever made for North America. Could have driven it for 30 more yrs. Very sad to see it wrecked, glad you were ok.
