SK,
I don't disagree with Tein's being better. Which begs the question as to why YOU don't have them? I heard the JIC's aren't nearly a smooth as the CS's.
BTW, thanks for the condescending lecture on the cost of Lexus ownership. (booo....)
Sorry for being off topic...back to you lucky ducks that are getting the CS!

the coilover car will ride SOOOOO much smoother at the same ride height, its crazy. of course at the lowest settings its going to be harsh still but the coilovers highest setting is still below stock by a decent bit and rides smooth as stock almost.
shock/springs arent bad, especially when u have matched springs/shocks but when u have them max down, or going over less than perfect roads, its not the same.

SK if I may ask, at how much lowering on the JIC's will the coilovers start to bottom out prematurely?
Example: Beyond 2" down on front and 3" on rear will begin to bottom prematurely.
Much appreciated help

All depends on the roads or lack of them and the wheel weight/size set up you are running to know about bottoming out. If you had JIC's and wanted to drop it real low i would order a higher spring rate for the front shocks and get them valved stiffer also.
I don't bottom out but i am at max height up front which is perfectly low for me with my 20's. For most people having it at my height up front would be perfect to have a low stance but a very usable height for curbs and driveways.
