DO NOT SLAM Your Lexus LS430 - Proper SUSPENSION UPGRADE

This wasn't a video, this was "Hellaflush 101, welcome to the class". I didn't know DP was such a hellaflush master and stance connoisseur. I can picture him right now, hand on top of the steering wheel, rollin' fresh in the LS. "Boys and girls, listen in class to get an A+!"

that aint rusty

[@bobbyhill4460]

Just oxidized metal

I tried telling Dave this! I love my set of ISF

I agree, youtube premium is definitely worth getting. I've had it so long I always forget these videos have ads.

[@nsreid88]

I wouldn't recommend using a dry towel on paint. Always lube with at least a quick detail spray or some soapy water. Doing it dry one time as gently as you did probably isn't going to do a whole lot of noticeable damage though. Loving all your videos guys!

[@cdsprech]

Love the music during the upper control arm install! Way more relaxing than it looks haha

[@stefndogg]

Me too. Deep house vibes

[@chrischiccino88]

That whole wire brush bit with lower control arm housing was the most satisfying shit i've ever seen. Earned the like on that one.

[@christopherhufstedler8991]

I’m a LS430 fan. Y’all are only reinforcing that. If you’re accepting suggestions I personally Would also like to see content over the R18 8th gen civic platform. I drive a Windsor built version.

[@RickSeigmund01]

As always, this build is SICK! Good job on the pro tips also...

[@pfguo87]

@18:08 - You should have done a rinse and wash with soapy water before you went in with dry microfiber cloth that should only be used for drying... doing it otherwise is scratching the paint. Learned this from Pan The Organizer channel. I believe he is based on Canada.

[@sticky40sx71]

Yes, you are scratching the paint. Key is, never contact the paint dry. Always keep an Instant detailer spray handy 🤙🏽

[@vegardulven9515]

Been watching you with premium since the summer of 16' Plus a couple of years before that without premium😌

[@mjk4378]

Don't forget that wheels flex when you drive so even if you have a few mm of clearance, you can still have a problem of rubbing in some cases.

[@edhuslik]

Took my new purchase, a cream puff 2005 ls430 to the dealer for an inspection. They quoted over $2200 for a timing belt and over $500 for serpentine belt. Oh, and $140 for an air cabin filter. Safe to say I won't be going back anytime soon.

[@PJDJ1986]

Please paint the brake callipers black, would really set the wheels of nicely. Loving the Lexus build, cant wat to see it on track/road!!

I use regular gs350 bushings and you can get negative offset or positive offset and they are aluminum lexus part number 48075-30030 48076-30030 or type In lower control arm bushings for gs350 look for think design urethane bushings they are about 350 for a pair tho..you will feel the diffrence with urethane no slop.

Keep up the amazing work, you two are what makes youtube great, and total motivation/inspiration for all of us DIY-ers.. Best of luck on all the projects.. where's the Evo 6, PT?? Everyone knows it will kick some STI butt once done and sorted.

[@stancedgarage3063]

i know the older ones have a wiring harness in the fender on the driver side that you have to tuck when slamming these. im unsure about these new ones but you might wanna take of that fender and see if you can tuck that harness because the wheel will rub through the inner finder and hit that harness

[@marekae8660]

I love HardRace bushings, they have OEM feel but with more stiffness. When my original bushings went out on my LCA's on my 94 civic, I bought some cheapo RockAuto stuff to replace them, and they lasted only a few months before they went bad. Decided to go with HardRace after that, and they're still as solid as they were when I pressed them in many months ago. Good stuff!

[@upnorthviking823]

Do you preload them before tightening the bolts?

[@marekae8660]

@@upnorthviking823 yes, that’s why I was confused went bad, just with lower and stiffer suspension might be more hard on it

[@BentonHart]

I really want to pick up a 5-10 year old Lexus LS and put it on air ride. None of that ridiculous wheels/camber stuff though, just a cushy ride and slammed when parked.

[@turbocoupeman]

For the POR15 you can use a propane torch (not lit) to shoot a bit of propane in to displace the air and prevent the paint from hardening.

[@blokeontheend]

I use various sizes mason jars to store the remaining amount with as little air gap as possible. I suppose I could rig a nipple in the lid to create vacuum but so far it's unnecessary.

[@uninani2626]

Always lube up never go in dry.........that really is a pro tip, also applicable on non car things 😉

[@thomascoon9885]

Hey Dave, love your channel! Just a comment about your throttle body issue....why not rotate the throttle body 90 degrees so the electronics are on top? My BRZ with edelbrock supercharger uses this solution and it works just great, no issues . No need for an additional spacer. Simple solutions are the best! Keep up the great content!

Regarding that press....why not add a longer lever to it so you get a better leverage ratio? Seems like a lot of effort is being exerted into pressing that bushing in.

[@antoniovarela6713]

ive learned all sorts of things about "pressing bushings" in and out and in. lube seems to be paramount.

[@jivon14]

Awesome video! This may just be me, but here’s a friendly piece of constructive criticism. I definitely would’ve enjoyed seeing the alignment process after the install. I’ve plenty of alignments but I still find it interesting due to the multiple methods used. Keep up the good work guys 👍🏽

[@lilfables]

I can't wait for the supercharged Ls to race the M5 stationwagon 💯💯💯

[@MJ-nn1ox]

Were the bushes aligned correctly before they were pressed in as they are directional? There is a top reference due to the internal oil spaces which will fail early if twisted relative to the metal outer. There is also a back and a front depending on the side they are fitted. I know this because the one's a garage fitted failed early due to misalignment and I had to get them redone. Ironically I went with polythene buses from PSB as they last longer and give a better driving feel.

[@bcatz454]

Winrace makes some nice stuff for Lexus. Wish there were some aftermarket control arms for the LS460. Hahaha, man I bought my mint LS460 for $6500 with 160k miles. However, my Lexus LX470 is a lemon, I've spent $8k in Lexus parts alone in the last 3 years, and thats with me doing all the labour. Aftermarket, non performance parts off rockauto just don't work on flagship Lexuses.

[@transamericanlife]

Those wheels look sooo good.

[@davidg4026]

The music sounded like I was watching one of those HD scenery channels!

[@Barthoization]

First of all, I love the content you guys make. But is it possible to not add "music" over every work sequence? I really prefer the sound of the tools and the sound of the garage then the filler noise.

[@yt0500323022]

How about wire wheeling the rust off those components and brushing on a coat of black paint.

[@erenolewis7043]

Instead of wiping with a microfiber, scrunch it with your hand as you wipe. That gives crevices for the metal to go into. Clean off or change towels periodically. Next time, you might just want to mask the area before doing metal work.

[@Mazdatechsenior]

Must be a UL for that price. At least y’all doin it right. How’s the rod quality, pretty sure change

[@yeashahamed1795]

For the wiping with the metal bits, u were better off giving it a rinse and then drying it with a towel

[@vrydstrbd]

Keep the Pro tips comming!

[@SilverScarletSpider]

Is lowering really a good idea? Lower center of gravity, maybe better cornering/handling ability. Of course i know speed academy is not the type to just lower a car without also adjusting for suspension, toe, and camber, but what about those that literally just lower the ride height and scrape over everything around a bend?

[@BobbyTruffle]

You could rinse the rear fender with some warm water and then sweep of the metal dust in a safer way but don't worry guys. Someone got a nice haircut by the way and he looks good, he's a German car fan but who's perfect after all...😛

[@markhamalignment]

should've put anti seize on the camber arms. those arms seize up over time so quick and my customers ask me why. Cause no anti seize LOL

Have you experienced any knocking from the coilovers? Is the ride comfort close to stock?

[@ONLYUSEmeAZN]

Don’t roll the rear fenders on an LS430!!! The fronts can be rolled slightly, but definitely need to cut/grind like they did in the end!

[@steelraven8210]

Wait...did you just remove all the preload to go lower instead of loosening the lower lock collar and threading into the lower mount? The long threaded shock body is there to lower into the lower mount while keeping your preload and proper shock travel.

[@jp2246]

Just so you know, I'm here again, but just for the wheels... just kidding, but those wheels are amazing! And yes, YT premium is the way to go!

[@dominicbustamante1600]

The stock air suspension in those cars are junk, specially when they go bad. Because the dealer would charge you an arm and a leg. Factory air suspension are just junk on all cars. My cousin had a Mitsubishi galant with factory air suspension on it and when it failed every shop that he went to is charging him way too damn much. My dad also had an MK3 supra with factory air suspension, but he got lucky, because the previous owner already swapped it out to standard shocks and struts.

If your car is out of warranty then going to a dealer for service is almost always a mistake. Big repair bills is just another way to convince you it's time to buy a new car. I've had KZbin premium since it was Red.
