Thanks freddie, mike, agi for the comments as always... As for dirty octoberpus..lol, thanks for the compliments, unfortunately, since u have a 1st gen, the specs are diff, I suggest some research on the boards or pming some of the 1st gen guys like "beeguy" who has a sick hella flush setup, as the peeps that replied in this thread have worked hard to calculate offsets or make their cars fit the wheels, as for eibach, I assume u came from hondas, cuz I haven't been to eibach in ages.. Since I had a honda,Hahah.. Good luck.. Search button is your friend... Ps. I don't mean to sound like a dick, but it seems everyone always asks for offsets/specs w/o bothering to research.. Which was the way I've always "put together" my projects...

(dont mean to sound like a stalker but i am very thorough in my research) :shrug: I apologize for confusing you for being at Eibach its the "J's Gathering" that i saw your vehicle at a year or 2 ago. In pictures of course. I just immediately thought Eibach because i plan on riding with several other friends from this coast to spend the week over there. Oh! BTW! i do come from the Honda world as you'll see from my sig :D I thank you sooooooo much for replying to my thread and hope i can shake your hand one of these days!

Actually the Eibach meet that is this weekend is for all cars. It is thrown by NWP and they invited all cars to come out. If you want to see some sick cars come out to the NWP meets.

New wheels and lip kit...cant ait to see what you got up your sleeve bruh...
This has got to be the cleanest and well executed LS's I've ever seen. Props to the owner
dang that is definatlly one of my faviret ls400 out the nice and clean
I hope one day, when i get my car all done up, i can be on equal level to what Big Steve has put out there. His LS will forever be a benchmark in my mind.
a classic example of what clean and simple will give you. very nice, i dont think ive seen this pic before....
this has to be one of my fav LS's out there very clean and well thought out would love to know the offsets but i think from above posts that you wont give them out ......

Sorry i have a shitty phone. You can PM me or call my brother Freddie at the shop and he can tell you more. As far as the offsets the wheels where custom fitted from what I know and there wasnt any offsets my brother just went up to VIP Modular and did it. This was one of the first sets that was done aggressive for a LS.

That car looks perfect in everyway. <3 I love it !!!! Offset and camber is perfect all around and the bodylines just flow so well!
deesfd430 has the wheels now. and i can confirm that VIP modular doesnt use offsets. they can recreate wheels with offsets, but when they make a custom set for a car they use their own calculations off the car. i know the owner and i was gonna get a set made when a new model that i like comes out.
