Lexus LS parts reviews

I just put KYB all around on my 430 last week. Rides great!

99 Ls400 owner. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum every 5k miles.

It isn't the car, it's the tire. I've been commuting in RWD LSs (first a 460, now a 500) for the last 13 years in Michigan with Bridgestone Blizzaks.

I run Michelin defenders on my LS and my wifes santa fe. 80k miles treadlife and they ride smooth.

I use ceramic Akebono pads and have noticed that my tires are much less brown and wheel less dusty than they use to be

I used a decent set of coated Raybestos rotors and a set of the most expensive PowerStop pads front and rear on my last brake job on my LS 430 — came from RockAuto. The rotors haven’t warped, the pads are wearing nicely and are no where near as filthy as the Brembo’s I had been using and I can’t tell the difference between this setup and the Lexus parts. No squeaks either!

It's just an insanely great car. Quiet as a tomb, ultra comfortable and smooth, powerful, and great visibility. Unbelievably good headlights that in fact steer. One thing that I find just incredible, having owned many German cars including a Mercedes S Class, is how well it tracks. It literally drives like it's on rails. Has to be one of the greatest highway mile-eaters of all time. Given modern car sizes it's really not all that big. About the size of an E-Class Merc or a new Lexus IS.

I currently have OEM rotors and Brembo pads on the car. This bitch stops, but they’re the dustiest brakes i’ve ever had, and I only get about 7 months out of a front and rear set.

I bought a Yuasa battery from AutoPro, and they told me it comes with a 2-year warranty. After about one and a half years, the battery almost completely died. I had it tested and was told it was dead and needed replacement.

I would rebuild the struts with new KYB shocks and retain the OEM springs and buy new OEM mounts. I have had terrible luck with quickstruts in a Lexus.
