where did you find them for 850 thats like hella cheap hehe. i would buy some with the quickness so i can ride low low :]. without paying the hefty price for air suspension. i wouldnt wanna cut into the rear deck. dangerous stuff. it shouldnt take them too long to fabricate it for the rear.

The only difference in the 2 is height for a 10/20 the bolts are exactly the same. The guy has no clue what he is talking about.

so the megan coilovers will fit on a CF10 for the front and rear, but height adjustment may just be needed? (which is usually what you do with coilovers.)

ookay i check part numbers at sewell lexus parts. i look up a 93 ls400 and a 95 ls400 and the top boot for the shock is the same part number. so i believe skperformance is correct about what he said

it usually takes a while for them to finally release stuff they're "working on"

what kind of cutting, or where, did they say needed to be done to fit the rears?
they said u have to cut the springs on the coilovers because it will be too high..thats about it....but i'm thinkin cant we just lower it??? n wouldn't cutting the springs mess up the strut(meaning it will die out soon)??? i dont know..but im real close to buyin a set....if i can sell my sc430 rims then i might get them...

yeah, the adjustments on the rear look long enough to be low enough for a CF10. asianalpha is running them, and it looks like they go low enough, from the looks of his height:





i'm in the same boat as you.
these would actually be my first pick.
but no money.
