2006 Ls coilover install

[Isaac Zahra]

Hey everyone! I’m going to finally install my D2 coilovers this weekend and I will be posting photos when the job is done. If anyone has done the job of replacing the stock suspension or installing coilovers and you have any tips or pointers for a smooth install I would appreciate some advice. Thanks!
Attached is the stock ride height with some 18x8.5 +35 offset wheels and 235/40 tires

My kingdom for sport rear shocks

Done! It’s pretty dark outside so I’ll post pictures sometime in the next couple days. If anyone else plans to do the install I can give you some pointers!

Nice job.

Don't lower the car too much, or you will get excessive tire wear from too much negative camber.

Oh I know lol. That pic was the first time I had lowered the car after install, I raised it up a bit. I don’t want to kill these tired being that they are over a thousand per set

What a difference!

Now go to 40mm offset rims and see how it handles.

Not sure... but the front tires may rub the wheel wells... depending on rim/tire size.

The wheels I have are +35 offset and there is no rubbing at full lock.

would you be able to share a link to where you got the coilovers? i have an 03 and i havent been able to find anything to get to lower it EDIT i think i mightve found them, but the ones im looking at only have 2 bolts at the top rather than all 4. I cant tell by your picture of the shock, does it have all 4 bolts or only 2?

All factory shock assemblies have 4 studs on the top plate.

I would question any setup that only has 2 studs on the top plate.
