Default What Coilovers to get?

Simple question:

your opinion, what you have now, what you wish you would've got, what your buddy has...any info!

What's the best set up for IS300 1 to 1 1/2 inch drop.

I will be getting 19's by March.

thanks JT

if your getting 19s then i would suggest you get a two inch drop if your only getting lowering springs. But if you get coilovers that can be adjusted. with my set up the tire fits perfectly flush with the wheel well. I have no problems with fender and it looks really clean. if your getting coilovers i would get the TEIN 216-way adjustable ones. Someone told me those were really good & expensive. if you have the money.

fairuza11...how do you like those HKS coilovers? Do they have pillowballs? I ask because I've heard teins w/ pillowballs are a bit noisy and rattle. The helper/tender springs with teins have also been known to make some noise. Any noise with your setup? And how much are we talking about with these?
