Me too

I am a college student so my budget is also tight Megan's are in my budget but for a little more I could get Stance GR. So wiht that being said I will probably follow your lead.

* Billet T6061 lightweight aluminum Lower mount with urethane bushing.
* All aluminum components are hard anodized
* High rigidity/High precision piston rod design exceeds racing standards

* 2 collar wrenches are included.
* Light weight T6061 aluminum spring perch and locking collar designed to bear the weight of vehicle
* Spring upper perch provides independance between the spring and the pillowball.
* Racing spring available to special order in custom Kg (even numbers only) .

nice sales pitch

basically if you want something that will ride well and will go LOW then any of the above mentioned brands, other then k-sport(they are just pure crap), will work.

if you want something that will actually turn in corners then get kw clubsport coilovers with a custom revalve by RobiSpec.

im finally sold on them. i have been driving an evo on this setup for the last two weeks and i have not had this much fun in a car going 40mph...ever.

they are pricey starting off at around 2500ish. the race setup is in the low 3000 range.

imho it is worth every penny. the spring rates on the kw are stiffer then mine but it rides a lot smoother. better shock valving is key.

....if you have read all this then great. i would assume no one will ever even consider this alternative. lexus owners, considering most now are in the 17-25 age range, dont have money to blow on suspension, even if its fantastic :/
