Default new to the forums, what coils to get?

i just got my lexus two days ago, i have supra lowering springs, but i really want to do coils. i have a 1992 sc300 with auto tranny, its got 132,xxx, and is compleatly stock and really clean! iv seen coils like megan ez streets go for 700, iv seen silkroads go for 2500, im just wondering what a happy medium would be. this is my daily driver, but i want it low and to be able to drift, ya i know its an suto, but another question, welded diff or lsd? i know each has plusses and negatives but im wondering if you guys have tried both and have good advice. really any good advice is appreciated, and if you have any used coils in good shape let me know! and i want to post a pic but im not sure how haha

As far as. Coils go check out HSD I have them and a few friends have them too. They ride nice, handle well and can go super low. With the diff I say go LSD if you have The cash to spend. I would rather drive around with an open diff than weld mine.

If youre looking to go low and drift, I'd reccomend PBM. Mine are at the highest setting right now and i scrape everywhere lol

Whays the most youd spend on a set of coils? Id fork out more for the meg lp's because you can damn near lay frame and theyre pretty comfty. Diff wise, if you dont mind rolling around with your diff sounding like its gonna blow up and it being locked 24/7 be my guest lol. You should roll welded and save for a proper lsd

If you really want to "Drift" you'll want a heavy spring rate.

But if it;s a street car and you just want to get the rear out on a few turns every once in awhile you'll want a softer kit so you don't hate driving it.

PM us and we can help
