Default How come no applications from companies like KW and Bilstein?

Just curious to know how come brands like KW and Bilstein don't have coilovers out for the Lexuses? I personally love KW V2 and V3 and I know they make some for several Japanese cars, ie the G, Z, and Evo.

Bilstein also make coilovers and shocks for the 2nd gen GS (I had both the shocks and the PSS-9 coilovers on mine). They were pretty quick to market with them at the time.

Yes, I read about that. But I was hoping for a full coilover set up of at least the PSS9.

Dave-if only there were a model out for the IS.

The reason I asked is because over the last several years, I grew to become a big fan of these 2 brands. I had Japanese coilovers before on my previous cars and even on the softest settings, they were just so not daily driving friendly.

I wish KW made coils for the 2IS might as well get the next best thing = JIC

Write or call them and ask! Bilstein (at least as a couple of years ago) had an east coast facility about 5 miles from me in Charlotte. They gave me wrenches to adjust my coilovers free when I couldn't find mine - sent them to me overnight even though I offered to drive to them.

Here you go
