I have been advised they are indeed made in Japan. Im in the process of trying to get some shock dynos. I can tell you the spring rates, but I need to know for which vehicle.

interested in the spring rates. i currently love the stock suspension plushness and if possible, a little more "plushy" for day to day. When i need to track it, i want the ability to dial up the compression. I've ridden on k-sports 12/10k setup and i found it quite firm even on full soft. I heard that stance gr+ comes stock as 12/10k. What would you recommend for me based on my need for more plush compared to stock but with the ability to dial it up for track/circuit use?

My question is not regarding pricing. The question is, is the ride quality like stock or more harsh? When i dial it all soft, is it like stock suspension feeling or is it also harsh? I want my next coilover to be stock like feel but when needed can be dialed in. Please comment on these factors

Of all the sets of Stance coilovers I have ridden on, they can be softened to nearly stock. When you need to dial them in for stiffness they offer more than enough adjustment to meet your needs.

I personally have not ridden in a Lexus with those spring rates. Stance coilovers can go can go up or down 3k spring rates w/o re-valving just so you guys know.

It's a little late, but I thought I'd put this up here for anybody who may be interested. My Apex ExV's had 10/6 spring rates. The rear was way too soft. On moderate dips and bumps, I could hear my car hitting the bump-stops...and my car was not even close to slammed. After switching to 10/8, I was at least off the bump-stops. I know of 4 or 5 people with these coilovers, and I think all but one was experiencing the described problem.
I now have the GR+ with 12/10 rates now. On the softest setting, the ride is more firm than stock, but I wouldn't say it is excessively harsh. My 10 year old son has no complaints concerning harshness.

Thanks for the review. Primarily, i want the same ride comfort as the stock lexus suspension, if not, softer but with the ability to firm it up by adjusting the dialers. Aren't coilover manufacturer's spring rate different for every company or is it a standard measurement? would you say that the stock 12/10 Stance's be close to stock or should i give 10/6 or 10/8 for something softer at full soft?
Main thing i want is close to stock or even softer at the full soft setting, with the ability to firm up by dialing up. Thanks for your help!
