the ecu will help tightening up the steering wheel column at high speed. now it's a good question whether it will work on the v300 though, it's primarily a usdm thing. maybe you can check with steve ganz, his username is supratrd

the RA is good if you want nothing but stiffness and track racing. for street driving it's stiff.

and strut brace, what strut brace you have? some clears, some don't

I guess I will check the Jap tuners for the steering mod - I do know as the speed increases, the resistance falls and the steering becomes heavier. Some guy wired it so it was 'light' all the time, I guess I could wire it so it's 'heavy' all the time.

I'm sure I could get some custom/universal brace, I would fit the EDFC first before my strut brace.

I have big problems with tyre 'scrubbing' right now, I go round corners so fast the outer edge wears well before the rest of the tyre. I saw Pirelli P-Zeros on a Ferrari with very small tyre wall, supposedly to reduce this tyre scrub - any clues?

I use the slicks primarily for the concrete tyre wall, scrubbing is virtually non-existant.

I just got the Tein CS installed today. I'm very impressed, it's at it's softest setting and the ride feels smoother than the factory suspension!

congrats on the new setup

I am curious about what you find regarding the steering mods; especially making it heavy all the time. Since the steering booster is electric, it shouldn't be too hard to mod. I was thinking about trying to just unplug the harness that goes to whaterver provides the boost: pump? rack? But no boost at all might be a bit too heavy on the steering. Also not sure what the ECU will think about an unplugged harness.

Somebody on lexusownersclub.co.uk did a mod for the steering. They set it LIGHT feeling all the time. It works on resistance, 0 - 12v. I guess at 12v it's power-assisting 100% and at 0v it's got no assist or 'heavy' feel.

Speed sensitive steering is OK as it is I think personally.

Awesome, I knew this was something simple. The L-Tuned ECU is one of the biggest marketing hype parts I've ever seen.

I will will getting my CS's installed on thursday I've been looking forward on doing a coilover kit now for sometime on a quality made vehicle such as the Lexus It the best of both worlds with this coilover set-up----lowered height and a next to near stock ride..Can't beat that.. I'm very happy with my purchase and looking forward to Thursday....

i just put in some tein flex 2 weeks ago and they ride really good. im surprised, majority of people here post that theyre to stiff. not at all. im also running 19's with 35 series in the front and 30's in the back. almost tuckin rim in the rear. but tuckin tire in the front. but theyre not lying about the cabin noise. just a little noisy. but overall, i like.

sigh... i have to sell my tein RA's because it makes mom and dad sick in the back seat

looks like i'll be going tein CS instead... hoping someone has stock in north america.

Dear guys, I am interested in buying a set of tein HAs for my car. Do you know if the stiffness on the setting of "0", is comparable to that of a 3 or 5 series bmw or an L-tuned drop? Thanks.

do yourself a favor man... DONT do it IMO... i have never ridden in a car w/HA's but from what i understand, it is stiffer than the tein FLEX and the flex is pretty stiff... i had the flex and didnt mind it too much, but EVERYONE in my car was like why is a lexus so stiff?? so i got rid of them and put the CS on and WOW is all i can say. it was like night and day. so do yourself a favor and wait for the CS

even at the softest, the HA is still stiffer than the ltuned i am pretty sure

I guess nobody hear has ever driven in a bimmer.
