Dajap LS430 Suspension update #2

Sean (JDMPalace) helped me out and I finally got the Nagisa Auto Front Upper Arms.  AutoFashion once again came through to install them for me.  AF also went ahead and installed the Youzealand SS Kit Pro also.  So if you guys remember in one of my first post the LS sat like this...

All in all after installing the Nagisa up front it gave me just enough camber I needed to get the wheels to fit correctly.  The problem was with the Data System Controller, after the SS Kit Pro  install (lowering the car an extra inch) going to L mode would have destroyed my fenders and rims. 

Picture in L mode in the rear before the SS Kit

So I had to suffice and stay at Level 9.  9 Wasn't low enough so 2hrs later adjusting the factory sensors this is the final result.  Even all the way across!

Damn that looks so good. Nice job!

me like!!! Looking clean

Looks dope Chris your most certainly off to a great start if the LS turns out anything like the b I know its gonna be gangsta...

makes me want to upgrade my ls400

:biggthumpup:, Looks good bro.. I'm not much into the low offsets and thought the first pics you posted without the camber wasn't gonna fit but looks like it came out spot on.. Did you toss the front fender liners as I'm guessing your pulled or trimmed the front fenders. 
 
I have trimed rears and rub on the screw right behind the door. Trying to figure out a work around on that as well but its the only screw on the rear holding my sides up.. 
How are you able to roll at your current stance? 
 
PS. Did they remove or trim your front rotor dust sheilds? I had to trim mine amd knocking out the tie rods were a huge hassel. Curious how much they charged you in the labor of getting everything installed.
 
Hope to see you cruising around San Diego Bro...

looks soo fresh....
 
 
i learned that the L mode will stop on its own when there something in the way

very nice bro!

The only modifications done to the fenders is shaving the rear.  I haven't pulled at all and the front fenders are stock.  I can't remember the install price on the things but Autofashion will give you a great deal I'm sure!

Excellent executiion on the stance.... exactly how it should be down :rules:

Yup, thats correct and exactly whats happenin to me rite now, rear fenders sitting on the tire, i need to get a proper roll or cut =)

I never knew that about the L mode but I guess it won't matter once I go Air Runner.    You guys don't get annoyed of the fluctuating bags when driving?  I especially hate how the car lowers itself on the highway at higher speeds.  No Rub = No Love hahaha

Sometimes fluctuating does get annoying but the way it lowers itself on the highway i love it =) i be praying to see a semi truck so i can pull up close to see my ride height in their chrome/poilish panelz or evn a big black ford/chevy van hehe soo sikk...

Nice work man!!!stance look amazing

I like to ride as low as possible (functionally) and I can't stand going lower on the highway at higher speeds cause when I get too low it starts to rub and I mean rub.  If the Data System Controller didn't do that I'd be tempted to keep it except for the fact of not having instant movement at a flick of a switch.  My xB had real air ride and it saved me from hitting road gators twice.  My xB's ride height

i got really tired of the flucuating myself...
 
i striped the fourth wire from the data controller and made it reusable by adding a metal tip to it.....(ill try to take pic so u get the idea)
easy plug and play
 
so, when you get the desired ride height, wether its all 9's or even when you get the car even lower on the hwy just simply unplug that one jigged wire and the whole system ceases and stays put. been like that for a at least a year no issues. ( i got that data system in check.....(she made me mad by raising up all the time...now she stays put lol)

I never hooked up the extra wires that is supposed to go the passenger side.  Does the one jigged wire happen to be on that part of the harness?  If you get a pic for me that would be great!   Thanks Gato!

i'm lovin' it

Good job sticking with it and making it work.  Well worth it!!

godamn it that is sick. i love kouki ls430s
if i ever sell my car, i want to buy a LS like urs

Thanks Gato for the info!  I'm going to have to try that out this weekend.

no prob, got to radioshack or walmart and get some connectors...then grind it to a thin sharp edge to be able to fit in snug. the hole itself has alluminum exposed already inside it so it will make contact.

get some nice high res pics up of this beast. i want some new wallpaper :)

I don't have a great camera so I'm gonna have to wait till someone offers a shoot to me.  LOL

Real simple bro  if you look at Gato's picture he pulled the 5th wire from the top row.  The wire he is holding is the modded wire so that he can put it back in when he wants to adjust. 

From what I saw yesterday when I messed with mine.  When you pull that wire the car won't adjust no matter what.  The compressor will never kick on and the car won't lower.  What I was thinking about doing was  running a switch in between so that I could keep my DSC right where it is and all I would have to do is hit the switch to either make it have contact or not.

Installing a switch would be mad clean, i think im gona do that as soon as i find the wire =) so ok which one of the plugs?? the wide one or the other one?? U said the 5th wire, left to right or frm right to letf?? Did u cut ur wire to see if it worked bcuz those thing are really thin :pat: sry for all the question my dude lol :shrug:

Ok so i did mines but when i drive, height showz up on the lcd screen n the red exclamation mark lighs up red, but when i connect it back it go's off, is that normal??
