Well i just picked this up yesterday from Denver and drove it 6 hours to home. I have big plans for this car and i already have most of the stuff for my setup including a full Accuair air managment and just ordered Airrex air strut/bags. I now looking for a set of 19 or 20in wheels like a Wed Kranze Bazeria or Leon Hardiritt Ordens or possible some waffles. First plans for the car is fix some dents on the car i picked up the car for cheap but had some small hail dents in it but i work at a body shop and can have them PDR pretty easy if not i will have them fix and throw some new paint on it to freshin it up. I am new to the vip scene but i am nowhere close to being a newbie to cars i also have a 2011 Subaru STI hatch which has had a StanceNation feature and a 4 page feature in Japanssee Performance.
The LS on the way home ill get some better pictures tomorrow.

Slight update got my air bags in :D
also started building a floating rack to hold the compressors and air tank.
Making a template
Blew up a lexus logo to make a template for the rack.
Roughly how it will sit just waiting on my exo mount
Almost done the wood base for now is temp til my piece of plexiglass gets here. Then it will get changed out and also in the open area of the plate i am going to engrave a big lexus logo into the bottem section and mount a light on the back side behind the tank so when it shines threw it will light up the engraved logo. Ill be finishing up the rest of this hopfully this week. My exo mount and compressor wiring kit and air lines will be in thursday so ill finish this up and throw the bags on by the end of the weekend.

i see you cut the floor into what looks like an 80/20 split. was this for easy removal? can't wait for the outcome. i'm deciding on where to mount all the air stuff and you have given me ideas! keep us updated on the details, such as wire routing, air line routing, etc if possible.
btw, love that shot of your STI getting lit up by the cop!

Thanks guys. Pretty much got it all together and running good now. I dont have any pics of where i ran the air lines but there is a couple rubber grouments under that floor that i ran my lines threw those and yes the board i had to cut couldn't fit the whole thing in together. Rocking the stockies for now. I bought a set of pie pans for dirt cheap and will be here monday im going to rock those for winter/other occasions til i find a set or 19's or 20's that i like.

Yes i can go ALOT lower but the front is hitting the top of the fender wells with the upper control arms so the i need to fab that up and i can go much lower. How it sits right now is the factory setting on the coils i still have travel left in the front bag let alone the extra coil thread i can drop it.
