holy crap thats expensive. i have those shocks with eibach springs on my car right now. handles just like stock. i wouldnt say its much of an improvement. still rides way too soft like a couch. for daily driving they are nice. i drift my sc300 and they feel like poop. way too soft. they are not meant for tracking so i guess its okay.
what do you plan to do with your car? street? track? both?
if you want a really nice street setup get bilstein shocks, with coilovers sleeves, and hypercoil springs. it will cost you just as much as the tokicos and your choice of springs but these you can have revalved to match the springs the weight of the car perfectly.
i didnt know they sell for that much. i got my tokico hp and eibach springs for $150![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
maybe i should sell my setup and add some more for coilovers

or search like i did..read about combinations other people are using and make your decision..thats how i came to my decision of the TT kyb's with eibachs..semi-aggressive drop, not too stiff, but not sluggish like stock.
i'll be the first to say it, i dont know crap about Lexus/Toyota except that i used to own a mk1 mr2 sc...other than that its been nissan my whole life..BUT i have learned alot using the search button...
tell everyone what your looking for, and search...you will find ALL your answers

I do not want an extreme drop 1/2 inch is fine, But I would prefer a stiff ride. Thanks guys for all your help, I value all your opinions. This is for the street, no track use, i would prefer a nice stiff ride, nothing crazy. Also I do not want the car dropped over a 1/2 inch, I live in new york...lI want to eliminate some body roll and eliminate the bouncey ride, for the best price.... Thanks in advance....

Tein Basics will get you into coilover heaven at an inexpensive price. However, the dampening is not adjustable on the Basics. If you're not looking to auto cross a daily beats, it shouldn't matter. How many people actually adjust the dampening anyways?
If you're willing to put up with some noise, you can go with a system with pillow ball upper mounts. Megans run about $900 and Tein Super Streets run about $1200.

i got them from my boss that bought a crashed SC. everything on the car was replaced and in really good shape. he sold the set to me cheap because he didnt know what they were and how much then cost. until now i didnt realize either the set was that expensive.
