well put there I have the Flex and love how it slams the ride but now leaning toward comfort and considering the CS.

I dont have coilovers yet but I test drove a IS350 with tein cs on them and they felt awsome. I also love the fact with EDFC you can go from great comfort to great performance with the touch of a button inside the car. Cant do that with the PSS.

You can get the Tein CS for 1260 here. http://www.optionimports.com/tein-cs...ver-lexus.html

sorry guys, im new to this lexus game and was looking to get either jic flt-tar vip series, tein cs or the bilstein pss. does anyone here have anything to say on the jic's? one my my friends had a gs that he put some jic flt-a2 and they seem to ride pretty good.he had 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the rear with no gaps.i was thinking the jic setup,but they are a lil pricey so will take some time but then now reading on all of posts on here about teins and bilsteins,i am open to more advice.i live in oklahoma city so we dont have much people around here for me to go test ride in.any help would be good,especially if somebody could compare the jic to tein and/or bilstein. thanks

Tein has a electronic dampening system that you hook up on top of the coilovers and a controller inside the cabin. Tein coilovers are ride adjustable and dampening adjustable, so you can control how hard or soft you want the ride to be from inside the car with a push of a button. The Tein CS have 16 settings to choose from.

Anytime BS-GS. My Bilsteins should be in the mail this week. Autozone had to special order them cause' they don't normally stock the PSS coilovers. I am currently riding on 20's. If you want close to stock ride then look into the Tein CS, at least that's what alot of folks on here are saying. I went the Bilstein root cause they make a awesome product, I don't plan on messing with dampening (I drive hard allllll the time), and they have a pretty aggressive drop. Go on tmengineering.net, they have a couple GS rides with Tein CS coils and Bilstein coils. The Silver GS on the Bilsteins has a cutie posing with it!

TEIN! (Although its a biased answer, because we sell TEIN..well maybe not totally biased since I have Tein on both my Skyline and my Accord.)
