Big difference in person. I like it a lot.

LC has been a money pit for me ever since I got it 3 months ago but I love this damn vehicle. I feel like Batman in the Tumbler waiting to pancake people on the road.

2/4 of upgrades done.

1: Exhaust, intake, window tint
2: Lift kit.

Still got wheels and spacers coming next months.

Audio upgrade next week. Then no more and will
be ready for the years to come and enjoy it for good.

I said this to my wife once when I bought my 60 series and have since learned my lesson! Lol

Looks great. I’d get the caps on your OME uca’s though. Helps keep the gunk out of the grease zirk fittings.
edit: FYI, you have to remove the zirks to get the caps on.

Looks like the shop did not put the caps on.

I’m gonna have to go back and get it done.

Edit…
Reading the reviews and on YouTube

Many people said the same thing with the cap issue and not being able to keep it on or not even have it on .

My search chops seem to be off tonight. I cant find the installation manual for the OME ucas online anywhere. As it happens I found mine in the garage, snapped a photo.
Step 13 is their recommendation, I put the nipples in my toolbox and installed the caps. No problems staying put.

This is amazing! Thanks for this brother

Am I remembering correctly that the fronts are height adjustable on this kit?

Interested in your impressions on difference in ride and handling.

Yes there are different notches where you can adjust the height.

The shop asked me if I wanted the 1.7 or 2.5 in the front. I said give me the 2.5

The ride is definitely different. Car sits higher. No more hard nose dive when you brake.

Pictures don’t do justice from stock to OEM. There is a legit noticeably difference in person. Car just looks so much more manly hahaha.

I got two compliments already at the gas station and at the shop.

It’s not too bad price wise. You don’t need the upper control arms or rear lower control arms with the Eibach kit. I just went buy crazy last month and got it.

This looks amazing and I'd really like to get you're thoughts on the ride difference you mentioned above. How much firmer is the ride over stock? I'm debating between this kit and the Bilstein 6112 / 5160 set-up. Thanks so much for sharing!

Ride quality is greatly enhanced

No more nose dive from braking. You can take corners faster without feeling like your going to roll over.

Plus it just looks so much better. I get compliments all the time how much better the suv looks.

This is with 20 inch Raceline rims and 285/50r20 Yokohama Parada Spec X
Performance tires. Absolute no rub.
