Default why dont they make......

ive had civics, integra's, accord etc...and i always had an option to buy springs, coilovers or full coilover with the shocks....i would jus like to know if someome could explain why dont they have just coilovers for the IS that you can use with your stock struts/shocks?

I'm not understanding your question at all. Are you looking for coilover sleeves to put over the shocks?

i guess you can call them sleeves, for example i had a 2k civic SI with Ground Control Coilovers, they only cost me about $300 brand new, and back then they were one of the best coilover companies to go with, why dont they make something like this for the Lexus. here is a pic of the coils im refering to. thanks for any input re: this.

As I suspect, those aren't popular with Lexus in general due to the low interest. Whatever mods you can find for Hondas, divide that by 1000 and that's how many parts are available for Lexus

The only Lexus that can use those [Ground Controls] are the SC300/400 and the ES300, only because they have suspension that are interchangeable and available for the Supra and Camry.
