it is a lot easier on an IS300 though, plus the diff ratio is better for a v8 on the IS300 as its a 3.7 something as opposed to a 3.9-4.1 or whatever the is200 is.
I've spent a ridiculous amount of time looking in to this and my conclusion is to buy an IS300 and use that instead, mainly because I've got a 2000 plate 200.

Well......... the missus has just come up with the idea of selling her car, and buying me an Ls400 and she having my IS200.......... that could work out cheaper
lol

LS400 is a barge though.
THIS however... has potential.

Meister R sell coilovers for it, from what I understand from one of the LS430 drivers on the forum, that engine responds very well to an induction kit... it is quite a pimping car when you drop it a bit and give it some polish.
