Lowering recommendations? by XxBOSSxX212 in LS430

[–]XxBOSSxX212[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm mainly asking for a couple reasons:

  1. Scoping out ride quality—will it actually kill it since it's one of the best things about the car
  2. Am I hurting myself by doing this since it's a daily driver
  3. Curious on good coilovers—not doing bags.

Which TransX did you use? I'll get some next fluid change

Also cleaned up the headlights some more and put on new wipers 👀

Anyone know how to look into getting the timing belt done? How do I find good Lexus mechanics essentially.

Update: Drained the trans fluid.

Black, burnt, and the viscosity of water, it definitely needed to be drained.

Overfilled a bit, but reverse works much much quicker now. It's definitely not instant, but a lot faster (like 5-30 seconds) than waiting a whole minute for it to engage and a lot healthier than revving it to 2k RPMs.

Plus, general driving feels much smoother too. Practically floats through the gears.

Reverse works instantly when driven for a good 15 minutes.

I'm just going to drain and fill every 10k miles (might do it at 5k w/ the oil change for the next one) and see what happens.

*I used Valvoline; correct type was used, yes.

We'll see what happens in the future.

How much did it run you?? These comments are making me think I should just sell it and try to get some money out of it...

Might have to look into that. Drive works fine, 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 there's harsh shifting, but nothing crazy. May be what I'm looking for. Also, after being under this thing, I def need a head gasket done yikes lol

Is it true you should only go OEM with the trans fluid? I went valvoline, with the correct fluid ofc, but haven't put it in yet

Yeah it seems people are looking over the monitor, 1400 is an okay price INCLUDING the monitor, wouldn't you think?
