anybody use this kit? what are your thoughts? Noise, comfort, performance, easy to use? I am debating on a suspension kit for my 02 Is300.. I want something that will give me performance and comfort. I am riding on 19's and i am putting a visage kit on my car so i have to take out the hks springs on stock shocks because it sits much toooo low!! i want to make the right decision, i already have the EDFC installed in my car from last year , because i was planning on installing the super street kit, but just want to hear what people have to say about it once more... i dont mind changing plans and using another kit if this one could possibly cause problems?

i had the HA before, and if i am right the ss is about the same, if not stiffer.

i got pretty tired of my HA coz' it was so damn stiff. it handles great, but the stiffness was killing me (maybe coz' i am old and i have cs on my gs400 and sc430).

so for handling, these are great. but for comfort, imho, it's far from

The SS's are going to be stiffer than the HA's. I have the SS's with the EDFC. On the highway at it's softest setting the SS's feel stock, but on regular streets you'll feel the difference but it's not bad at all. I traded a bit of comfort for performance, though if you went to the next level up on the Teins, the ride would probably be close to stock and you'd get the performance.

I'd recommend the SS's in a heart beat.

Hope that helps.
