I would go with the JIC-FLT-A2's, but if i had to choose from that list, it would be the Flex.

What about the HKS HiperMax Damper2? Check in with your boy Gadget, he's running those and from what I remember, they ride smooth and responsive. Otherwise, my vote is for the JIC SF-1. If you were in the car with me and felt how hard Manaray pitched a hard left downhill through a canyon across traffic, you would see the light too! You might also want to look into beign the first to test the AB Flug ECS-I Scoot Tune coilovers

I know for a fact that it was discontinued for the 1st gen LS400, but I don't think it's discontinued for SC's...their website still lists them.

JIC Magic doesnt mention anything about how low the SF-1 can go.
