Default coilovers for your 97-01 ES300

I had emailed K-sport on these cilovers about a month ago anyways, they finally responded and said they do make the coilovers specifically for theES.

This does include the front pillow ball mount, w camber adjustability. You will be purchasing from autoline industries usa. Payment methods include money order, cashiers check, or wire transfer, we may be setting up paypal, as we had some requests to do so. Delivery on the one set will be approx 3 weeks, as the factory is closed until end of month for chinese new year, and I am out of stock of this application. I could set you up to do a group buy, if customers could wait approx 2 months I could do approx $650 on 10 sets. $715 for 5 or more sets, let me know , thanks for your interest.

im down.. i was looking at the tein ss, but they dont have upper pillow ball mounts and theyre a lot more than these.. also the spring rates are different for the camry/solara/es300

are the ksports any good?


edit: i doubt youd get 10 buyers, more likely to get 5, im down if i get the cash quick enough.. time to sell some blood/sperm

lmao....

i'd be interested as well but i have a slite problem, i have AVS control in my ES...i dont know if theres a way around the AVS system or not, but i do like the option of havin all those features with them for that price....

maybe if we set a reasonable time so that we could at least try and get 10 buyers it would be a great deal and oppurtunity, also i know we could involve in some camry/solara owners as well to help make up the "top ten"

but b4 that i'm more concerned on the AVS setup, i dont know how many people would have this problem if interested so that we dont have to worry about complications after a purchase!

I'm definately a possibility....I've got the cash right now, but I was really hoping to looking into something like the Tein CS Series with the available EDFC...I know they're considerably more expensive, but I've heard nothing but good things about them, and much like anything else, I want to buy it right the first time around.

I'll have to see if I can dig up anything on these K-Sports though....I'll keep you guys posted.
