Tokico HP Struts and H&R Sport springs ordered

pics when they arrive.

Edit:
i'll add some pictures from when it was clean. I guess. If anyone cares.

When did you move back to Ontario?

about 4 weeks after i moved to montreal and had enough of their stuck up french canadian attitudes and bastardization of the french language.

Fucking French Canadians.

*spits*

yup. pretty much my stance.

also limo tint for the rear windows and 20% for the front coming in may.

Dude, it's a land barge and was engineered as such. Why fuck around with the suspension ?

^ I was gonna say the same thing.

Maybe the old stuff was wasted? I dig the wooden steering wheel. I really want one of those.

rear struts are leaky and the H&R sport suspension is only a 1" over all drop, and will reduce some of the body roll, not looking to slam it or autocross it, the Gfresh and i just don't like the way it rolls.
this is what it looks like with the tokicos and h&r springs.

can't argue with that

Personally I think the idea of an older LS400 sleeper is pretty cool. Kinda like an original LS-F, M5ish, AMG S55 kinda thing.

(IF you buy an "F" badge from Lexus and put it on this you will be my hero)

Yeah, the price is right and it ill just restore the feel of the ride i think


i don't know if you could really call it a sleeper, like yeah its pretty quick for a brick, but not deserving of an F badge.
it does scream for full exhaust though...they sound bad as fuck with straight pipes.

The "f" badge comment was more of a joke, but I still think it would be kinda cool. Although very close in spirit to the dorks who put M badges on 318s and AMG badges on C230s.

As for the exhaust, if it ehances the V8 sound great, if it makes the sound tinny and harsh, leave it alone.

mmm

ha, those plates crack me up.

And that sound... last thing I was expecting. It looks quite good otherwise, how many miles has it run?

Wow that sounds intense! Your car has to be seriously fast to sound like that otherwise it's pretty lame...

it has 233thousand KM's

and technically i ordered the struts and springs today but their coming
and a k&n replacement at somepoint, its on back order on summit.

unless you are rollin on some 24s you are just another cracka

we already knew i was a craka.

The question is do you still cry about it?

alot more now.

That isn't much for a ls400, good luck getting it to 400k

it purrs like a kitten with a hole in the y-pipe.

Mmmmmmm carbon monoxide poisoning.

The UPS man brought a gift !

H&R sport springs are here, still waiting on tokico HP struts, should be here friday.

TOKICKOOOOZ AR HERERR

Hooked on phonics inbound.

yesss.

i've only dreamed of such days!

Dreams do come true Benny

hoooray!

but yeah if you care the suspension should be installed in about a week, and then ill get it washed up and take some pictures while I'm at the car wash, because I'm sure it will get filthy once i get it home, me and the girlfriend live on a dirt road from HELL.

So i've been away for a week in Stoney Creek, Ont, helping my family move into their new home since they moved from Montreal.

While i was gone my girlfriend and her mother got the springs and struts installed at some shop.
long story short $1000+


but oh well wasnt my money

Before and After Writeup later tonight !

if anyone cares?

Pics.

kay

Wait, they spent 1000$+ on you?


.....are you fucking the mom, too?

It's not my car, its the gfs but I use it from time to time and have full say in the work that gets done becuase they dont know much about cars. and her mom spent the money and i didn't have to sell my body. The driving feel of the Car has been completely changed. The turn is is so fast now, it has an almost german feel to it now where as it felt a bit buick-y before but on the dirt road the ride isnt to harsh. but the tires and rim size are holding it back from an even more responsive feel. as for pictures i will get them up tomorrow sometime when its clean.

"why didnt you just get coilovers, yo? they are mad tight ballin"

I am jealous

coilovers would have cost over 2k

So, that leads to the second question..... WOULD you fuck the mom?

not a chance in hell.

Thats how much quality struts cost for a 05+ sti
I can get very good coilovers for $1500

So when are you slapping some turbos on that beotch?

nevar. i foresee perhaps a custom cat-back exhaust and 18" wheels in the future.

Well the weather sucks, so i didn't take it out of the garage or wash it or put any effort into these photos whatsoever.


dirty slut


slutty front assembly


slut-tastic rear assembly


it really is filthy

Benny, resize your pics...criminy.

laziness is a bitch.

Did it for you. In the future do it yourself, pictures that big are unacceptable.

sorry mom,

and happy mothers day to all mothers btw.

Update!!!


i just bought a replacement y-pipe to get rid of the rotted old one.


HORAYY

VIP it

dont have enough money for 19's and tires.
