god that stance is perfect, what are the specs on those wheels

[@shawnchang4354]

You gonna do a fitment guide for the LS like you did for the S2000? Mind letting us know your specs on your current wheels

[@misterdeeez6796]

nice LS minus the F sport badges 🤦‍♂️

[@maxnguyen22]

Think it looks good

[@ahbalone]

Only the factory-kit sport suspension badge

[@ENZOVLOGS-lb3ff]

Cheap fix for a fat dent on one of the fenders, that’s why it’s placed there and not where F badges actually get placed. But honestly I liked it, F sport package cars have sportier suspension and wheels, and so does this. F cars obviously are a different animal vs just F sport.

[@bmw330420]

I have the 2005 ls430 everything’s stock, it has 280k on the dash no major repairs test, second owner since 50k miles

[@bmw330420]

Shawn Kemp no issues.

[@bmw330420]

Shawn Kemp the 05 if u can afford it

[@bmw330420]

Shawn Kemp offer him 9.8k cash if u can afford it

[@bmw330420]

Shawn Kemp test drive both already? The 05 has several less miles for just a couple grand more but u need to take them both out for a good hour or at least tell the buyer ur 100% serious Nd u just want to take it on the highway and for a good ride. These ls430s ride like a dream. I also have an ls460 and it’s just a pain to get in and out since I have back problems I always prefer my ls430 any day but for business I had to get a newer car.

[@bmw330420]

Shawn Kemp what’d u get

[@sethschroeder9490]

Nothing like doing ball joints and moving straight to wood framing. Like the hammer

[@Rowan206]

That fitment is mint!

[@rtroeun]

Stumble across your channel, and I like the content !!! Subbed!!!!

[@ENZOVLOGS-lb3ff]

FatherOfTwoBoyZ thank you so much for your support! Will be uploading more often very soon! Stay safe out there 🙏

[@rtroeun]

ENZO.VLOGS you stay safe as well brother ! Waiting patiently for upcoming content:)

[@badboys239730]

Hey, can you drop the part numbers of the Ball joints you purchased and the control arms if you've replaced those as well?

[@ENZOVLOGS-lb3ff]

badboys239730 I’m sorry I don’t have the part number anymore. It’s Meevotech ball joints!

[@sess107]

greate video but would have loved if it wasnt black and white the whole time

[@oyajiblues]

I couldn't find those ball joints on their site, do you remember the part number? Do you think I should replace tie rods at the same time? I will replace the coilovers. Any other suspension upgrades you recomend while I have the work done? I have a 2001 in killer condition, but the suspension needs work...

[@russm195]

You only did rear muffler delete? Ever think about installing a weapon r intake?

[@ENZOVLOGS-lb3ff]

Russell McGinnis not really, this is just my daily driver and living in ca my goal is to fly under the radar and I drive it pretty slow and just cruise

[@bluffgawd]

subbed, love the ls.

[@CB-gi2rx]

If you have a 4Runner then you're already well-aware of the dreaded LBJ.

[@midnitesnack3683]

Thanks mate am away to do same with mine aswell

[@ENZOVLOGS-lb3ff]

Nelson HURST that’s a great idea! Must do!

[@davidjones-ri4kk]

What exhaust setup you got it's sounds wicked on those short clips at the beginning

[@ENZOVLOGS-lb3ff]

david jones just a rear muffler delete! Although I didn’t drive the car on this video, you might have been thinking about my 240sx I used during the replacement

[@ChristopherMara]

What rims?

[@soap8720]

Man i love this car🥵

[@St.Moritz]

Did you put the middle of the car on unprotected jackstands? That makes me really scarred of the car sliding off and after that, rust damage on the point where the jack was. About the ball joints. Did you went for upgraded or some kind of special brand? Maybe I should make a vlog on my LS as well. For now I only did some testing and editing as you can see on my channel. Nice clean LS by the way!

[@ENZOVLOGS-lb3ff]

St. Moritz meevo tech

[@potaijee]

Could you elaborate on how the ride is different compared to the old one? I'm thinking I need to get mine done too

[@ENZOVLOGS-lb3ff]

potaijee before I replaced them, my steering and suspension felt somewhat loose or worn out, it didn’t have that tight new car feel. Once I replaced them with aftermarket ones that claimed to be stronger and looked beefier by comparison, the ride almost feels like a tight new car. Although I’m sure if I replaced other bushings in the front suspension it would improve it even more. Hope that helps. If your car is lowered with higher miles, I would say this is a must do. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe!

@@ENZOVLOGS-lb3ff how much did this cost you? I need to do mine really bad

[@ninstendo1416]

I wanna slam mine soo bad but i know ill miss the smooth ass ride

[@ahbalone]

18"/45 rides and handles well. Also better 18" tire values than for the big ez-ding rims.

[@ENZOVLOGS-lb3ff]

Ride stays pretty smooth even on coils! Big heavy car!

[@mannye]

Wait... does this go for any LS? My 2006 is bone stock. Should I worry?

[@ENZOVLOGS-lb3ff]

Manny, this is mainly for modified vehicles. But an aged ball joint on a stock LS will eventually fail. I’d say change em out if you’re at high mileage!

[@mannye]

@@ENZOVLOGS-lb3ff Thanks! I'm at about 170K so it's time. Probably wheel bearings while I'm at it.

[@ENZOVLOGS-lb3ff]

Manny I need to do those next lol

[@streetK4]

Wheels specs?

[@bvdujs]

Bro i hate to ask this but wheel specs please lol and are those extreme low BC?

[@ENZOVLOGS-lb3ff]

Im running the D2 coilovers, hit my DM on ig @ogenzzz for specs ill help ya out

[@happypills3084]

Good video

[@AbyssalTentacle]

would you recommend the ls430 ? i’m looking into them rn for my next daily

[@Stj209]

geckdad Yes! Just keep up the basics on everything and you’ll be set, these cars last a LONG time, as well as the LS400. Try to get a 04-06 as they have the 6 speed and generally look more appealing.

[@ethixhiggins5059]

how's the 5 speed

[@rollinwitzig7789]

Lmao 🤣🤣🤣 I have the same dog wow Charlie Hustle

[@PeugeotRocket]

Next time please don't shoot in black and white. This is just a car video following you doing repairs and you talking about your equipment/office. It was a poor stylistic choice for an entire repair video.

[@ENZOVLOGS-lb3ff]

PeugeotRocket I’m sorry you didn’t like it. This wasn’t supposed to be a repair / DIY video...? This was a vlog, it purpose wasn’t to show you how to replace ball joints 🙄

[@mathewsenn]

the black and white parts are great, plus its a great way to save time on color grading quick b-roll
