Nice drop. I am on supra suspension with Tein lowering springs and this might be the thread that convinces me to go the coilover route!!!

I just put CS-T's on my SC300 (on 19's) and I'm not too happy with it, I'm probably going to go back to Flex (like my old car) - at the lowest settings on the CS-T's I barely have it flush, but I don't know if my wheel size has anything to do with that. Ride is very comfortable though

this clearly isn't the coilover for people who want to be tucking 19s or anything for that matter, i'm def not saying that. i just got the idea from everyone else that the drop was not low at all. but i went with it anyway and i thought this dropped pretty deep for such a nice comfort level.

Oh, I agree with you totally. I decided to try them because I thought their lowering range would be enough for my tastes, taking into consideration how much the 19"s fill my wheel wells already - but it's not enough for me. For anyone who wants more of a subtle look but with a comfortable and adjustable ride, I'd definitely suggest the CS or CS-T's.

On my other SC I've got the older Gold Tein CS on 19" Sterns. I feel they could go lower but was very happy with the overall performance and handling upgrade and good adjustability with EDFC

EDFC rocks, that's why I stuck with TEIN for my SC... just ordered Flex so i can set my car at a ride height I'm more comfortable with =D

CS-T are in FS now LOL

Thats better drop compared to the Tein CS coils but then again smaller wheels make your car look lower

Just have to compliment you on the Moda's, i love them more every time i see them. Look absolutely gorgeous on an SC.

PS. - Id recommend the OG spoiler, would make that beauty even prettier.
