Default 2000 ES300 Suspension Queries

The search function of this forum notwithstanding, I figure I'd just as soon start a fresh thread. I love my ES but it's sprung just a bit too soft for me and tends to roll just a little too much in the turns. I don't expect nor want to turn this into a corvette nor do I want to lower it. What I would like is feedback on aftermarket springs and struts that will tighten up the suspension just a little. I know KYB struts tend to be on the soft side, what else is out there? What about springs that will stiffen it up just a little without making it ride like a buckboard??

tokico or koni struts + H&R or eibach springs. You will love it.

your only other option besides gr2's are the tokico blues, which are much more expensive. If you get lowering springs, don't get anything that drops more than 1.5 inches. Anything more than that and the shocks won't hold up for long. good luck.

No, plan on leaving it stock height. Will leave stock springs if I have to.
