2004 LS430 sport suspension, I am installing Tanabe DF210 with new O.E.M. sport shocks, The tanabe springs are shorter will these cause my new shocks to fail ? Should i go with Bilstein sports because they are an in shorter than stock ?? any info appreciated. Thanks,

looking in to buying a LS430 , I found one thats 2004 Ultra Luxury Black 34,000 mi. at a dealer . Is this price a little steep ?? Would you go with a 2006 with more mileage at the same price ?? Thanks for in put , debating on pulling the trigger.

I am looking at buying a Ls430 with the air suspension , i know these can be trouble , if these go bad i can just swap them out with aftermarket coil overs right ? Thanks

I know this sounds crazy , I am just looking into buying a new car and i am set on a 2004-05 LS430 but the BMW M5 2002-03 looks nice too, Has anybody in here owned both or has driven the two ? I know these are 2 different animals here but please tell me why i should not go M5 ?? I am wearing Nomex so flame on. Thanks

I know there was a bump in HP. for the '04+ and some extra's , I have not had the chance to drive both yet , In the the market for a LS430 , How big of a difference is there between the two? Horse power/driving etc.. is it worth it to buy the '04 and up LS430 ? Thanks

Why did you sell in the 1st place , and why did you regret it ? what was so great about the 04 LS430 ?? I am asking because i am looking for one as well, just trying to make a little more cash before i pull the trigger but i seem to want something a little more wild like an older M3, M5 etc..but quickly come back to my senses (LS430). I own several models of Lexus including LS460 model 2008. The LS430 has a completely different tast, it feels so well built and the materials used in it definately feels better than the new generation. The reason I sold it was because of the economy situation as I was using it mainly for work, I travel alot. I sold it and I got a Prius 2010 to save on gas and I drove it for 524 miles and knew that there is no way I can put a 100'000 miles on it. So, lost a little bit of money and bought an LS430 model 2005 with 54000 miles on it over the weekend, it has the modern luxury and the sport package with a beautiful silver color. I have never drove a LS430 yet but i know i want one, I just wanted to hear a owner talk about the LS430, so you like it better than the 460 ? wow because that a nice one as well.Thanks

Looking for a 2004+ LS430, Do not want to spend 25-35 grand, I have found a few high mileage ones , 80-98000 on the clock for around 15-17 grand, I know the timing belt is up..and etc..Would this be a wise move ? or should i stack more money and wait for a lower mileage one to get in to.?? what would you do ? Opinions please.. I need Lexus luxury tired of old truck with no A.C.

No thats the Vortex option that crowns a set of crystals under your !Removed!.

Looking to buy a LS430 , I love the option of air conditioned seats , Do they work as good as they sound ? seems nice in 100 degree weather , Is it possible to buy the air cond. seats and install in regular LS430 or to much $$.

BMW is a great car , I was looking in to a 2002 M3 , throw on some rims lower it down a hit the canyons or go with the a new 530 with rims and lowered but then i thought wait a minute i would be getting tickets left and right and i have been thru the el camino , nissan 240 sx red top turbo pushing 300hp to the wheels stage already , Why not roll in class with some window tint and luxury , And the people that know will know you made the right choice. Plus its the smarter choice all the way around. safety, gas mileage, class, mechanics , price etc...I can't wait to buy my LS430.

post some pics of your new set of rims ??, i want to see what 18 's look like on a LS 430

Black is the badass color.. you did good.

Yeah i just want to cruise in luxury , i have been driving a nissan truck around with 300,000 mi. on the clock with no power any thing but the radio, so the LS430 will be a nice touch of class, Thanks for the info and insight.

Yeah i am sure i will, It will just be on the down low, and while all eyes are on the STI's and honda's with those loud chrome exhausts .
