Best lowering springs
Can anybody give me some feedback on how their ride is with their lowering springs? I've seen the H&R and Eibach and both have only a 1 inch drop. The Tein S.Tech has a 2- 2.5 inch drop and cost a lot less money.

TTE also makes springs:

ESPILIR Springs, drops 50-60mm. But it is highly recommended to replace your OEM KYB struts if you lowered more than 1-2 inches because regular shocks are not designed to take additional bounces from stiffer and shorter springs.
Bilstein Sport is what you need, as shown here in an auto show.
That is why I prefer coilover, you get spring and shock designed from one company, plus they are matched for each other. Adjustability and far lower drop also ranks high on my preferred features.

i'll check out those Espilirs... I emailed Tien and they replied saying the coilovers were still in development. Funny, cuz I'm pretty sure I've seen other Rx300 in magazines with Tien coilovers. I really am leaning towards coilovers. And yes I do have a FWD RX300. Does anybody know where I can order the Teins?

Tein has coilover for FWD for a while, you just needs to find a Tein distributor in the U.S. to import from Japan for about $1000 shipped via sea.
I would be interested when can Tein finish their coilover development for AWD.

BTW does anybody have a picture of their RX with Tiens? I noticed the stock springs have a pretty wide diameter. Do the springs on the Tiens have a smaller diameter. I'm hoping to maybe fit 20x9s or maybe even 22s

Best Tein Lowering Springs
I had my RX300 six months ago, handling so much better before. Recommend!
Drop 2.5 front and 2.4 back! OEM Tires sucks hell! I changed TRD 19" Chrome Wheel last month ago, look very good, and nice stance. Go shopping at Ebay and search TRD.

BTW, H&R is 100% made in Germany. Bilstein shocks have lifetime warranty. I believe Tein only has 1 year warranty.
