Default Serious interest for 1st/2nd gen ES 300 GB for Springs/Shocks.

I'm talking to Steve now. Summertime is closing in, time for the ES owners to get ours. Not sure of a price yet but a spare $500 should be more than enough. This would be for 1st and 2nd gen ES 300 owners.

Please add your name if seriously interested:

1SICKLEX (1st gen)

I'm in for OEM shocks/springs.

Or for anything that is soft. Sorry guys... I love a handling car, but the ES aint got the high end potential. (I'm a form follows function guy!) If I wanted handling I'd buy another protege/3, or a miata. <g>

Sorry, these would be performance/handling items. Though in all honesty, it won't hurt the Lexus ride. Sway bars and Strut bars do that. And larger wheels and tires.

Already got the rsb and a strut brace on the car LoL! All the talk I did on them I had to spend this morning taking the oem one off and putting the new one on.

I do need oem struts however...

Working onTANABE springs, quality Japanese stuff. I am doing a lot of research and getting help on what Camry/Solara parts will fit as well. Stuff like sway bars and suspension braces.

More to come soon.

How big is the drop on the Tanabe springs? I'd be down for some Camry Intrax springs... or Tanabe if they are more than 1 inch

I think Tanabe would be the same as Intrax, 1.6" all around......2" maybe after some settling. I've been waiting for a GB for a LONGGGGGG time.
