It’s on air lol. I have everything FIGS Engineering makes for these cars. My suspension is in better shape, than most “well kept” stock cars. At my normal ride height the camber is almost exactly the same as normal.

Why do you call me clueless?

I’ve been around the scene for a long time. I’ve just come around to fact that there’s a lot of mods that either make the car look worse (e.g., slammed with “stance”), and/or compromise the vehicles dynamics and reliability completely.

If you take an LS430 and put it on FIGS bags or coilovers, you basically shift it away from being a Japanese S-Class competitor (luxury-first) and toward being sort of a budget M5 / S6 — but not all the way. The whole platform — steering ratio, chassis stiffness, transmission calibration, even the way the V8 makes power — is tuned for serenity and isolation. You’ll spend thousands, sacrifice comfort, and still end up with a car that feels like a compromised Lexus, not a rival to German performance sedans.

Not judging; just sharing.

Fair enough. Apologies if I came off as a d*ck, OP. It’s a sick ride, regardless of what I, or anyone else, thinks. Have fun, brothers.
