Default what springs are stiffer than the tein h tech..

i had the tein h tech spring on my car and i wanna know if it would be better to go off with stiffer springs. would it make a difference if i go with stiffer springs since i am on 22s because on the tein would bounce when i hit a dip. which company might make stiffer springs that are good for the gs350 awd

I know the Tanabe DF210 or the Tein S-techs are pretty stiff but they also drop it quite a lot. Nearly 2 inches or so so you still might get even more rubbing but maybe it wouldn't bounce when you hit a dip. Those two are the only ones I know off the top of my head

Ive heard that megan full coilovers on the hardest setting will help out with your problem ! and by the way the attivo's look really good on your lex !

The TeinH are the least drop out there. So if you cant drop the car more then that I dont think you have to many options.

Can you shave or roll the fenders? are you sure the negative camber difference with the lower springs, Tein S IMO, wouldnt work or compensate? Reason I mention is another member took my rims and and put them on his 2gen IS and his car rubbed where mine didnt. He has Eibach springs and I had the Tein S springs. So the slight extra negative camber on my car made a difference. Hope that makes sense.

The next step from here is to get some TeinCS coils and slam that bad boy

I think you might have to consider coilovers. They will give you a higher rate and still be height adjustablr. any spring you will get with a higher spring rate than the tein h tech will be a lower drop as well. Seriously think about the tanabe pro 5 or 7, or tein cst. The tanabe is very resonably priced and has a higher spring rate front and rear than the tein cst,

dont forget you will get more negative camber as you go lower so it will allow for more room I had TeinS techs on my last Lexus and the rims worked with no troubles. The new member they rubbed and it was due to not being as low as I was on a similar drop spring as yours. I say get the springs and make it work
