Welcome.  The car looks nice dumped.  I'm guessing you are looking for a body man to fit your new rims?  What city and state are you from?  That will help people give you ideas of where to go.

Cali plates... So north or south? Judging by the houses, u look to be more towards the south.

im in socal gardena area. im going wide body so i need somebody that can do good metal work.

Platinum VIP can do metal work. I don't know too many shops I would trust with that since most don't know anything about wheel fitment. PM VIP does though.

Agreed! They seem to know there stuff just by looking at that 300 and the GS they did. Congrats on the AirRunner BTW

mmm... 30 slammed on stockers. always a pleasure to see.

i appreciate with the help.

Looks sick:biggthumpup: welcome to vsc & the ucf30/31 club.

ahh its gonna look great once you get out of the bodyshop!
 
pull a little fender and lower her.
 
why do  you want the ss kit?

[QUOTE=gato;314922]ahh its gonna look great once you get out of the bodyshop!

i thought the ss pro kit gives a little more camber. maybe im wrong.

nah... ss kit goes a little lower (30mm on the 30) while supposedly reataining geometry (i have an issue with this claim in theory, i'll know for sure when mine shows up).
 
there are some ss style fronts by nagisa that add camber, although i'm not sure they make it for the 30.
 
in the end, lower is better so you can't go wrong with one, especially before you do body work. better to go as low as you can then do work rather than deciding to go lower later and redoing it.

Looking nice bro, gona be even nicer when ur out the shop, cant wait :biggthumpup:

Thank You sir.

[QUOTE=mistaxko;314923]i thought the ss pro kit gives a little more camber. maybe im wrong.[/QUOTE]

It actually gives u roughly about -1.4 on the camber and +1.6 on the caster on my 02 ls430 after installing, u'll notice it more when dumped...

thanx for the info. i'll see if i really need it when it goes to the body shop.

wow, that's my future ride right there. i been wanting a 04+ LS.... 

YOur ride looks sick.

one of my favorite wheels

Don't know how I missed this thread but great looking LS!  I'm looking into getting Air Runner for my LS and I was wondering how you would rate it?  How is the ride comfort and is it able to get low?

Thanx for the compliment.
Air Runners are really comfortable. Only thing i don't like is the rear shocks. It has a really short travel shocks so when you go over bumps it feels really weird.  
If you look at the pics from the first page that is the lowest it will go(with stock wheels). Right now with the new wheels i can't slam it. I have to wait till it goes to the body shop. I'm getting the  fenders radius and alil wider all around. So when that is done I'll post more pics slammed.
Overall, i'm happy that i got air runners but if i could go back i wouldn't buy the dakota digital kit. I would just stick with the manual switch. Hope this helps.

yup manual is the way to go...is not like we need to air it up that much...we ride slam right?

That's right. Plus Dakota digital is more of a pain in the ass, to tell you the truth.

Classy. Coming along well. I love those wheels - nice choice. What size tires are you running on the fronts? Thanks in advance.

245/30/20.

[QUOTE=mistaxko;315110]245/30/20.[/QUOTE]
Thanks man. I'm hinking about running a 19/20 setup I was torn between that and a 235, leaning more towards the 245. How's the stretch? What brand? Thanks again.
EDiT: nevermind, they look like 452s.

I'm using fk452. I've had 235 before but I hated it because it looked like rubber band on wheels, it was too much for me. That's why I went it 245. I really like it this way. The stretch is nice. I'll post a pic of it later tonght when I get home so you can see for yourself.

Wow, thanks man, good looking out. Hard to find a good example, most threads, tables, etc only show up to 19. 245/30/20 should be strait if I pull the trigger on the 20x10 for rears. Thanks man, didn't mean to cloud up you thread with my bs. Hope to see your ride around SoCal sometime.

Looking good.. Now u need to get some shoes for it..

NP bro. that what forums are for. 
I found 2 pictures, I know i had more but i think i deleted it alwhile back. sorry
These are 235's on 10's. Hope this helps.

i done it all, that is why i knew...compressor keep going on because it push too much air out...from ride height to full dump is only 15 psi so it is only like 2 second on the manual switch...don't know why peeps keep want to do electrical..line is not that hard to put in the dash

plus if the tank leaks or drain the tank the car don't come down with manual, versus with valves they come down the moment the tank empty out.

those are the things im dealing with these days. and it's starting to piss me off. ill just deal it for now since it's already on. but i have new things planned for next year.

Your car is looking great! If you don't mind me asking, what offsets are you running?

5 front 18 back

After I put my SS kit on I had a little more camber. But I am running like -6.5 but i think at full drop its probably -7 or so.

good luck! wheels loook dope, car looks cool.

Kennedy at Platinum will take care of you, his work is amazing!

Thanx for the info. I'm most likely going to get it.

Thanks Boss. 235s are straight, after doing some calculations and chopping it up at the shop I'd probablly have to run a 235/25 to fit the 20 on rears. Kinda sketchy on a 20 inch wheel for dd. Will probablly just end up with the 19x9.5 for rears, and test fit them on the fronts and pick up another 2 19x9.5s if test fit goes well for the fronts and just get A.L.A.P on 19s (as low as possible he, he) Thanks again:biggthumpup:

NP bro

crazzyyy....

I can't wait to see this car all done !!

Car went into the body shop today, there are few things changing with the set up so keep on the look out.

oooh boy! fitting the kit right now!

ill go by tomorrow to check it out and take pics.

...oh, the suspense:ughrun:

Cant wait to see what you got up your sleeve...digging all of your choices so far

a simple showing off my  airruner thread is becoming a build thread. Lol

[QUOTE=mistaxko;314923]i thought the ss pro kit gives a little more camber. maybe im wrong.[/QUOTE]

I don't think the ss kit adds more camber, atleast in the rear, it just allows you to go lowwer without any loss in ride comfort. Of course lowwer = more camber regardless. It may add more in the front as it does change the location of the bottom and top arms in relation to each other. I have a set of lowwering blocks I'll be getting rid of soon so let me know if interested. 

Car looks great...

Man, 30's look all so good. Wish i had the need for a big car like that
