Yep, though it did get a new motor to..lol

The shop doing the motor swap let the workers from another shop do the install while the whole sub frame was dropped etc and the car was on the life.......

Full range of motion front back side to side, rides smooth I have zero complaints. other then some minor tweaking it needs. I do find the rear to not air down as much as the front does...but not sure if that's the kit or the car.
 
Thats pushing it.

You dont want to run anything above a 40 series tire. maybe a 35.
 
Very interesting. Ive done a lot of business with that company and they seem good.

Where did they place the compressor, tank, and gauges? Take some pictures when you can.

Always been a little hesitant on those plug and play kits but theyre compact and thats what the LS needs.

It mostly likely has to do with a limitation due to the car. The differential can only travel a certain amount. After a certain point, modifications would be needed to allow the diff to travel higher into the car.

I ordered Potenza Pole Positions in a 235-35-19, after looking at some other setups on various cars Im hoping this was a good choice..like said wont know until they are fitted

The compressor and tanks are in the trunk, the issue was the battery location and not covering it to get at it without any huge issues....the gauges were a bitch to locate because the interior has little storage room.

The area below the temp controls were the ash tray used to be now olds the gauges, in a crude kinda pod..lol, however this weekend Im going to start the some work on a pod to ft into that area perfectly and send it out to be hydroemersed to match the cars wood grain.....

True, guess if I wanted to tub it out I could lay it out more...Im happy with the way it sits and how far it goes........I know Ill catch crap for this, but id like to figure out how to get some nice camber next

Ill get post the pics of the tank and compressor set up as well as the gauge location...maybe even a vid of her hitching switches,...:D
 
Nothin wrong with a lil bit of camber. Just dont make it look stupid like they do in japan.

Since the LS has an IRS, the differential assembly, in its case, is solidly bolted into the chassis, and if it moves past what the mount grommets allow, you have a significant likelihood of catastrophic powertrain failure.:D
