Default WANTED: Coilovers for my GS

Hello all. I am looking for a set of coilovers for my 02' GS300. I dont want to spend an arm&leg. Please PM me with what exactly you have as well as a price shipped to NorCal(94568). i PREFER Tein CS because people say its comfortable. I currently have a 1.5-2 finger gap i would like to get rid of. My passenger side sits higher then my driver side(especially the rear passenger side)

I can ALSO trade my Tein S-Tech springs/L-Tuned shocks + Cash for coilovers

Thanks in advance.......im sure SOMEONE has something sitting around or would like to trade

If you want something that goes really low get either JIC or Tein Flex, either of those can lay your frame on the ground. You want something that has adjustable perches AND an adjustable shock body (the lower portion of the coilover), if it doesn't have an adjustable shock body it's not going to be able to go super low.

Check this out:


See how the the gold part threads onto the shock body, that's what you are after, you want to be able to adjust the spring perches (red things) AS WELL AS the lower shock body (the gold thing), thats what gives you the big range of adjustment and also what most coilovers don't have.

Here are a set of coilovers with adjustable spring perches but not adjustable shock bodies, make sense?




FWIW: Don't over estimate how low you want the car, I have Tein CSV2's on my car and if I went any lower with them it would rip my front fenders off whenever I turned the wheel, be careful what you wish for with slamming your car to the max.
