Im pretty sure I maybe looked down upon for this but I really want to like slam my car with some staggered 19's.

I wanted to go as low as possible without bags and wondering if there is anyplace that sells coilover kits for 06 LS.

or if anyone else has other suggestions .
 
Nothing dude. want mine slamed but the lowest I seen was the Sport springs with the 1.75" drop.

Other than that you would need bags.
 
Damn !!!! I think imma drop it and see if thats low enough if not here come some bags, cause I think u sent me a link to VIPSTYLECARS.com and oh man did i get inspired
Aye JWerner didnt u buy some ADR 19's ?
 
Yes.

I decided to go with 8.5's all way around with the +38 offset this time. I was guna get the knock off forgelines but those guys that are selling them just hustle to much.

I am gunna tuck a bit of tire but try to sit flush on the rim with the fender.

If its not low enough Im gunna tuck just a bit of rim.

Good luck.
 
Here are my 9.5" rear wheels with a 1.75" drop

Cant get any lower unless you bag it.

Hey 02v8sport, you have 19's right?

What tires do you run on them as far as sidewall goes?
 
Those are my 18's in the above pic

Here are my 19's running 255/40 in the rear and 245/40 in the front

I just got back from a wheel shop while on my lunch and he says he can do a 19 " X9.5 width and a 1.95 drop hmmmmm idk unless he cuts spring, but how is ride quality wit the car low ?
 
Do not cut, heat springs for they are progressive compression you would be replacing them in short order.
 
They have some tricks not consisting of cutting or heating.
 
Hmmm Im extremely confused on what type of wheels to get I want a set of staggered wheels like yours JWerner but i want them wit a deeper dish maybe 9.5 or 10 inch width . Know anywhere i can find some like that.
 
I decided not to go down that road anymore. Like I said I'm getting 8.5's all around.

Nice wheels for the LS are hard to find unless you go with the Jag wheels. Thats up to you as I find them unappealing in the most but your best bet would be to look into a set of TSW's.

They carry allot of blank wheels so the bolt pattern could be drilled for the LS.

They are slacking and cutting back on this so I don't know what kind of luck you would have anymore but I know the Holsten is made in different widths with blanks. They just look funny if they are not 19's or 20's.

If you wanna get just wheels and purchase tires separately you could give those guys at Modular Performance Wheels a shot on E_Bay but I had a hell of a time with them when pricing a package. I don't recommend them unless you get just wheels!
 
Well if I can I want to do a wide rim with good size lip, I planned to purchase wheels first then buy springs and tires.

I want to do 19's if I can since I really want it to sit low without doing bags.

I will try the couple places you reccommended .

Thanks for you help man wish me luck.
 
You need it:D unless you wanna go with the dub look.

I would buy springs and set the stance you like. Then you can get a better view of what will fit.

Ask who? 02V8Sport

A good size lip in some cases calls for a low offset just some FYI.

Some wheels have a centerline that sits at a good offset while the spokes or what have you tuck back into the barrel giving a nice sized lip.
