Pretty good price and I like the box thingy, makes the install seem easier. But most people seem to go with airrunner or UAS. I run UAS and the guys there are familar with Lexus vehicles.

It's all up to you on what you want to run. Airrunner is a direct bolt in for our cars. UAS has nice set up for the price but you have to fabricate mounts for coilovers to work.

you won t be able to lay the car on the ground with factory struts and Im not to familiar with D2 coils but I know some set ups like tein cst won t allow you to lay frame either. I know Megan, and BCracing will lay frame. Call Zack at UAS and he should be able t give you more insight. I would like Airrunner but its $4500 just for the kit.

Ive Ben looking into air ride not to many 3GS on air lots of 2gs. uas works the price is good it just needs a little more work to put on. air runner and ksport are bolt on but cost more about 1000-1200 more for there basic kits

lol..... I hear ya bro, its never ending just try to not be like me and redo the same thing over and over again wheels, suspension, wheels, suspension, wheels, spacers,spacers,spacers!!!! I have 2 Airrunner kits worth of wheels lying around dammit!! I am finally getting somewhere tho by the time my new wheels get here I'll be fairly satisfied with where am at in my build. Tax season however may bring the mod bug back. If I can find a way to ride as low as i am on coils with air I may go that route.
