Where can these LSportline shocks be found and how are they exactly different from the Bilstein HD shocks?

I am looking for a 1-2" drop, 2" max if anything.

I was thinking of going Bilstein HD/Eibach or Bilstein HD/H&R. Opinions?

the LSportline shocks are differently valved and have 4 perch settings compared to the normal HD's 2. also, the LSportline versions are made to be used at lower ride heights.

they have been discontinued for more than 2 years now LSportline is no more and Bilstein no longer makes the shocks ot their spec.


for 2" tops i think a bilstein HD/tanabe combo is ur best bet.

I'm pretty sure I'm going with the Bilstein HD's no matter what.

Now the question is what springs... Eibach/Tanabe/H&R....choices choices.

I'm aiming to maintain driveability and reliability with a mild drop.

Anyone know where to get Bilstein shocks for a 1993 LS400 can be found?

I have only seen them for the 95+ so far.


The tanabe springs were no problem to find at all.

that would be because Bilstein doesnt make shocks for the 1LS

Tokiko or KYB for you!

Ah...Which one do you suggest to get to use with Tanabe DF210's?

Hello guys, looking for opinions on this before I make the jump.

First Gen, First Gen! lol

Should I get Tokico HP struts/shocks to go with the Tanabe DF210 springs I will be getting or should I go with the KYB GR-2 struts/shocks? Looking to get a fast reply on this.

Sincerely,

I like the Tokico blues. Have had them on two other cars and while firmer...

Have had the KYB-GR2 also but it's like OEM soft.

I personally like softer ride with the KYB-GR2. Especially for a Lexus, it should be comfy.

How firm are the Tanabe's? If they are really firm, I may go for kyb's. However I did enjoy tokico hp's and Illumina's on the accord coupes that I owned. I imagen that the ls 400 is a very heavy car and tokico should stiffen it up. I have 20x8.5 so I may need something stiff as I noticed there is not much room for play under the front wheel wells especially with the main wiring harness and metal framing so close. Hmmmm
