    I was maybe 1/3" off the ground on 18s.... I started with 235/40s on 18x8s for the front, and that rubbed through the wheel well liner and wiring loom, but luckily I caught it before it destroyed any wires. I switched to a 225/35 and that fixed all of my rubbing problems. It's mostly dependent on tire size I think

    Thanks man I slightly did the drivers side, but i didn't take the fender off so i had a hard time getting it above that lip. I didn't notice the passenger side, I'll have to check it out.

    I might try some OEM wheel first to see if I can get the tire size I like to fit, I'd like to do square with 245/45/17 Direzzas, Spend the money on UCAs & RCAs for the front so i can get some camber to get the fit right.

    I ran 245s many years ago on a Jetta I had and thought it looked pretty badass, I like more sidewall though now and I know more about fitment than I did back then. I have to post some photos to reminisce

    My wife laughed and said the same, hopefully eventually it will fit in. I do like the wood deep corn but I'd rather do other things first.

    Got the coils in this weekend and replaced all of the end links. I had to cut 3 out of 4 of those bitches off .

    The F&F coils I put on out of the box and the shit looked air'd out. So I raised it up about 25 threads and it was still too low to drive with the balloon 225/60's




    about 20 threads higher put me here, it handles 1000x better than before even without an alignment.

    As you can see the bumper needs some love, I'm going to try to spray it myself... I just need to learn some patience when painting

    Funny thing is I was cross shopping the two before realizing how similar they are. You never really see the styles cross over too often though besides a few VIP S-class cars.

    190E is still pretty bulletproof though.



    I managed to get my Grinta in, makes me feel like my car is cooler than it really is when I'm driving

    For example my old benz and this UCF, with some wider black wheels and camber it'd be pretty close

    You are a smart smart man. I've always thought the early E-Class and LS were extremely similar...That's probably because Lexus based the LS off of early mercedes while maintaining the reliability of a japanese car. I always see a little bit of my car when I see a light blue LS rolling.

    I vote no on the Wedge. I had them on my Camry to fit a pair of Brides, they called and asked for the measurements of the holes on the base of the seat and all that, but when they arrived they were almost half an inch off
    I mean... with the exact distances you need being given to you, I would think it would not be that difficult.

    If anyone knows what seat brackets might fit, shout it right out.

    The GS300 brackets looks close, I can't tell for sure though

    THmotorsports has some corbeau brackets listed but they say 90-95 which makes no sense to me since that is UCF10 & 1995 is UCF20. I believe they are discontinued nonetheless, wedge says the same and I hear those are shit.

    I looked at his tail lights about a gabillion times myself. I like your ideas too. It should work out well.

    I hope I can deliver on this one guys. I do love Elvis'/Stancenation's LS, I have to admit his car was a factor in seeking out an LS. There is a video of his taillights that I have watched a hundred times.

    Here is where I am drawing inspiration from, I hope the influence is clear as this progresses.


    The Across EK is one of my favorite cars of all time, my first two cars were a 96 hatch then a 99 hatch.




    I also love the Evo II, I feel like the LS has similar lines and the Evo II has a 90's look that has aged perfectly.
