Simple daily LS460L

]I'm not going to be doing a lot to my LS, but for the things that will be done, I'll document them in here. I'm pulling all of these pics from instagram, so it may or may not work.


Found an 07 LS460L with factory air to replace my 10 GS350.

It is not AWD.

I got the Datasystem Controller from JZS International.

94 Lincoln Town Car look.

Got an amazing deal on VIP Modular VX-110's in 22x10.5/0 and 22x12/-6 from vipstylecars.com.

I believe this picture was on level 2 in the rear, so plenty of room to go lower once I have camber.

Doesn't look as bad from far away.

I will be heading to Denver tomorrow to Figs Engineering to see what they can work out and start developing for the LS460's. Max camber with minimal tire wear was one of their goals, so I'm sure that will make a lot of us happy! I'll keep this thread and instagram updated with pictures. IG: broken_tsi

I copied and pasted from CL, I figured a few people from here may be interested in the control arms and such, but this isn't an all out VIP build.

"Max camber with minimal tire wear", sounds like an oxy-moron. nice start on the car, looking good.

I'm assuming that he wants to be able to build different arms that will be able to control toe and such to keep the tire wear as low as possible even while being at more aggressive camber angles.

I got lucky with this one being about 2 hours away. Most were not very optioned in my area.

I don't have many parts to collect! Haha! I believe the L just gives 5-6 inches in the rear seat area. I can tell you that the steering wheel looks very far when you're reclined in the back seat though!

Forgot about this thread here. I'm working on figuring out which coilovers to go with to replace the stock air. I also need to fix the fenders (first time rolling/pulling) and get some front upper camber arms. Only issue that I'm having now is the factory air suspension lowering at highway speeds making the fenders rub the tires and the tire wear in the back is too much for the minimal amount of camber that I'm currently at.
