the ride seems a bit mushy and leans to much in the turns
factory struts are way to pricey and Ive read that KYB or Tokico are the OEM.
opinions appreciated

I have Tanabe NF210 lowering springs installed and it takes care of this feel completely, but overall drive comfort remains the same. Don't need to change struts/shocks. These lower the center of gravity, feels a lot sportier, prevents oversteer, and have less mushy bouncing on off ramps, etc. Can also make turns and curves at much higher speeds.

Tokico Struts on all 4 corners and a bigger sway bar in the rear. Problem solved. I lowered both of my cars originally thinking there's no way one thing can make a difference like that. i sat on a aftermarket sway bar for over a year because of this. one saturday i put it in, and this is me now ![Egads!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/pat.gif)

Now for those with a 2000 and earlier ES you can get front and rear.
Question for the dudes that have these: did you get two in your kit or one? I noticed that some places only sell one in a kit and some two...

Cant find any Tokico struts even on their web site for my year model....most sites feature KYB. I have no problem with KYB but I see everyone says Tokico.

Just to put a crazy option out there, anyone try TEIN coilovers like their Comfort Sport model? Stupid expensive but maybe someone went for it? ![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
