Baoser,
I happened to drive into this parking garage at D&B, Milpitas a few weeks back and saw a good handful of "VIP-style" Lexus' in the garage. I wish I had the car with me but we were in my Truck/Mall mobile. Were you guys having a meet that night? You guys have a thread where you post mini get togethers? I'm not so much into sitting around a bunch of cars anymore so if you guys do things i'd love to participate.
V300,
The coilovers are great considering the cost of them. Considering i've spent considerable amounts of money doing suspension mods on my other cars i'm kinda tainted so i'll be very "diplomatic" in my wording. I have put about 800 miles on the coilovers, most of that driving to vegas, and found that I really need to run them at higher damper settings in order to feel stable. It's definitely a sportier/stiffer suspension setup. So, if you're in a $1200.00 budget range and want a well supported monotube, independent preload and ride height adjustable coilover, hehe, Stance is amazing. I'd take these over JIC's based on a cost factor alone. I find these to ride comparable to the JIC FLTA2 if that helps.
If you want a softer setup then go with Tein Flex, Twin tube damper, is the way to go. I'll ultimately make my own "Air Cobra" type of setup for this car with a Zeal or Tein damper.
