If you're looking to be on a budget, forget coilovers since you'll more than likely set it and forget it. But for me, I like to tinker with my car so I ride on my own custom set of D2 coilver built to my own spec. Also, I corner balance my car also if it helps.

I know by my post count I'm going to be considered a newb, but I have the Tein CS and I can go much lower then that on stock wheels....

That being said, I don't like my Tein's at all, and I feel like I've totally lost the "Lexus" lux ride I had, even when I put them back up to stock height, the ride isn't the same. I wish I'd have saved the money and got something else now.

Just my .02

i'm currently riding on tanabe df's and kyb's and honestly i wish i went straight to coilovers. not that i don't like my df's, decent drop and still ride pretty good. but like most people on here i've caught the modding bug and needdd to go lower lol. i can't wait to get my coilovers in the next couple months. I'm probably going with megan's or bc racing.

All I see and hear is Megans and Stance being mentioned. I must say that the price of Megans makes me worry about how good and reliable they really are. I'm just use to seeing the price start at over 1G for a real good set of coilovers that drop real low, gives you a decent to good ride and whatever else bells and whistles comes with it.

Talk to Figs, one of the Vendors here, about BC Coilovers. Custom springs set up, very nice dampening, and he's a very honest and knowledgeable guy.

I would rock a less adjustable Tanabe Sustec Pro S-OC built with quality over a set of MEgan/D2/BC/Stance/KSport or any other chinese manufactured stuff.

For DD Tanabe Sustec Pro (~$800) are good. For track not so much. Megan just really got people with their low price. Nothing wrong with buying em if thats what you want.

But someone said before, this is a Lexus, not a Honda. Shi.. none of my S chassis buddies even run Megan coils.

Honestly I haven't heard bad feedback about them from anyone who actually had them installed. There was this one guy here who called it "ebay junk" but not sure if he even had them on his car. Trust me I'm not bashing the product. For under a g, it made me skeptical of how good these coilovers are.

See now the Tanabe Sustec coilovers I hardly hear about. There is little to no feedback about these making believe that they are not the greatest for our cars.
