1/2 done LS400
Well, I finished what I want to do to the car this summer and thought I would share some pics. Next year will be new 1 color paint, exhuast and maybe a sub upgrade. Ohh and chrome emblems, a Work one too.
I think this is about as VIP as I can go and still drive it all year in Canada (snow tire for the winter).

ya, tryed rolling it and there was some light rust from the chrome trim the prev owner had on it. I started rolling and things went bad. I snaded down the rust and touched it up.
I know lower would look cool but I rub now, any lower and I will destroy something (I have done it before in my minitruck, not fun!). Once I repaint it and paint the black part white it will look alot lower... next year.

The fender is rolled, I cant go anymore, its pretty flat. And it has Tanabe DF210 spring and stock struts.
As for now I would way rather finish my show truck than paint the LS hence why its not getting anymore done to it. Its not done by along shot but for now it is on pause.
Ohh and after talking with my buddy (wheel fitting expert at a tuning shop) he says I can cut a 1/2 to a full coil out and with a good alighnment I should be free of rubbing, so I guess there is alittle more work but nothing major.

looks nice. i had a pearl white ucf10 a long time ago. i still miss that car/color.
i cut a coil off my lowering springs, doesn't ride as well anymore, but it looks just right though! i don't have any rubbing problems either. i just rolled the rear fenders and removed a screw from the front fender liners.

i would suggest lower profile tires.
