the front is not a problem with the coilovers, the rear is the pain. the rear spring is designed to be on the bottom of the shock. coilovers rears are designed with the spring to be on the top. which means if you want coilovers with the UAS. you must know how thick the shock is so it may fit with the bag, they have a bracket for tein CS (which is a not full threaded coilover) that will make the bag sit on the bottem but if its a full threaded coilover it will not work for the rear unless full fab is done. Zack @ UAS must cut or make a bracket so the bag will sit on the bottom of the shock (rear) and a custom top on the bag that will extend to the top of the shock making up for the slack of the bag being on the bottom, it almost full custom for the rear. if you talk to him about the IS350 he did with the megans because the rear setup is the same as the 2gs. he can tell you more info on that if anything you can ship him the coilovers and have him fab them and ship them back to you. GL with the build.

He's right but its not as easy or simple. The IS was a real pain, I know because the kit was purchased through me and then UAS did the install. When UAS did the install they basically chopped the coil and made a spacer to be able to put the bag on the bottom. I am overly simplifying the process because it is rather intensive and does require knowledge in heliarcing. If you want it done right u will need to ship the coils out to UAS and let them modify them.

I never had a canover kit. I had a cup kit
Bc I think i got a blown strut from my accident and perhaps one blown cup but all the cups were working before I took it all off. And I just wanted something else.'if anyone wants the cups still for sale and wanna trade a ls460 Retro for. Q45
