Default Lowering spring question

Does anybody make a spring that will lower the car about an inch but still have the Lexus ride? Thats the only thing I'm worried about if/when I lower the car. She rides to nice rite now.

why not look into a youzealand ss kit instead? you get a drop and supposedly you dont lose the ride quality.

Tanabe NF210 springs. I'm going to be selling mines in about a month since its does not drop the car low enough.

Anytime you install a shorter spring (to lower the ride) you will experience a difference in the ride.

I heard the tein CS coil overs will retain a good amount of the stock feel and still provide the ability to lower the car. They are 1400+.

Both the Tanabe NF210 and Eibach Pro-kit retain the Lexus ride.

I was really concern about it when I was deciding on a lowering springs too, I choose the NF210 at the end and I am perfectly happy with how my car ride. I had super soft air suspension too, and the NF210 didn't bother me a bit.

G, do you have a pic lowered on Tanabe NF210?

Hit me up when you are ready to sell.
