GS4_Fiend sent me a private message and here was my response in case you needed extra insight.
"I would highly recommend the Tein CS v2 if you're looking at a coilover system that allows for a reasonable drop without sacrificing too much in ride quality. There are many other brands out there that can drop you low but I've heard from other members that they also suffer from a harsher ride. My goal was to lower the car a reasonable amount (1 finger gap all around) while retaining the Lexus OEM ride quality. The Tein CS v2 features 16 way damping. Even at the stiffest setting, the ride is pretty forgiving. I have mine set at 12, more toward the stiff side. I've had this suspension for about 30,000 miles and don't have any complaints. I hope this helps with your decision."

It's been a while since I purchased the coilovers, but if I can recall correctly, I believe I paid around $1200 shipped right when CS v2 came out from CL vendor Carson-Toyota/Lexus. I paid another $200 to have a local shop install it.

^^ speaks the truth,
time to drop the car and remove the eyelids, we would have to say those are 1998 styling but if you like it then thats coo
as a daily on air I ride about 1-2 finger gap aswell .. rides great and looking for ways to go lower all the time

^ woww man $1800 for Tein, I was thinking of getting those I thought they will be around $1400 max, so what would you guys recommend, besides Tein what other Coilovers would be good, that will give me 1 finger-gap, and would ride like OEM.
Thanks

IMHO, 1400 is to high for them neways. i think Tein is junk... i dunno alot of people are starting to talk/use megans but i know nothing bout them myself. i might pick up a set of HKS LS coils for DIRT cheap...been talking with seller for months now lol
