Hi Guys,
I'm new to the forum and have already tried the search function with little luck. I've had the 2IS for a year now and hate the sport suspension. My 2IS is a daily driver and i can appreciate a softer suspension.
I'm wondering if both the shocks and springs are different from standard models or is it just the shocks or just the springs. Can someone shed some light on this?
I've also purchased Tein Comfort Sport but i hesitate on installing it because i don't know if it's going to yield the ride qualify i'm looking for - something close to stock standard suspension.
If there's a member who went from sport suspension to Tein CS - how did it feel? did you get what you were looking for?
Thanks you guys.

With coil-overs, you can adjust the stiffness of your ride, so I'm sure you'll easily be able to match the "stock" ride quality.
Many people(with money) said that they didn't notice a difference between the Tein CS and the "stock" suspension.

The Teins do not have adjustable spring perches so a lot of the stiffness is going to depend on how much you lower the car. (The lower, the more the springs are going to be compressed, which translates into a stiffer ride.) If you don't go crazy and slam it, you should be able to get decent ride quality.

The teins ride very simular to the sport suspension. I would recomend trying to trade with somebody that has the LUX package and wants the sport.
I love my Tein CS. Lower ride with very simular feel as the Sport suspension.

How much did you lower your ride by and what setting was the shocks which yielded the ride quality similar to sport suspension?
The reason i'm asking is i'm thinking about just lowering it about 15mm front and 10mm rear with the softest setting on the shocks. Do you think i can accomplish a softer ride than the sport suspension?

The only difference between the regular and sport suspensions are the front shocks and springs. The sport suspension has shorter springs with matching shocks that yield a 10mm drop and a slightly stiffer ride. The rear shocks and springs are identical between the standard and sport models.

Of course, if you have bodies in the trunk, this will also affect ride height...

Rear shock Std. suspension 48530-80288
This is right out of the most recent Lexus factory parts book.
The ride height in the rear does not change, however.

Seems like they both the X and sports package use different springs from the other packages
