they make alot of parts for nissan especially the 240sx community....was unaware they made shocks for the lexus or really anything for lexus



EDIT: well i was wrong they do make one set for us (although for the nissan's they make complete suspension parts), for 2K i will find some HKS LS and stay on coilovers and forget the air

RMA8-JZS161 Toyota - Aristo JZS161 - F:14 R:8 (kg/mm)Aristo - JZS161 US $ 1,903.26

their OWN us site isnt up though which leads me to believe maybe its gone

http://silkroad-usa.com/

and a build focused around their engine/suspension/aero parts

Honestly it probably wont help. The bilsteins like the KYBs are too soft. Your best option is to make a hybrid setup BC coils and UAS bags. Send the front bag to get resleeved shorter and you have a coilover setup with air.

Im on kybs right now on UAS bags and it also is way to soft. Not to mention factory strut perches need to be moved down so the bags can be run at higher psi's. Im going to be switching out tonthe ksport coilover/bags in a few weeks. Hopefully they ride better and dont rub the upper arms like my UAS stuff.

coilovers shocks would be the best, UAS will not fit on ALL coilovers. but the rears needs to be modded to work. the second best would be bilsteins sporst shocks. the HD's tend to have a longer stroke travel which will make your car sit higher
