I've been on my BC coils since fall of '12 and have had my UAS bags and Elevel management on since May and couldn't be happier. Definitely a smooth setup even running full stiff on the bumpy roads we have up here...

possible if you find overstock or used, but it's been discontinued for awhile. you can get eibach springs made for coilovers, but that's a different story altogether.

to match coilover, or any coilover really:

it would be interesting if the poll could be opened so people could edit their selections... I know when i first filled it out i was on coilovers but moved to coil+uas as i'm sure numerous others have done... i can think of probably 5 people on similar setups right now and this is an OLD thread...

what's up ClubLexus! happy 4th of July

1991 LS400
I'm on California Custom Springs (made by Eibach) with stock shocks and got about 1.25 inch drop. Still have 2in wheel gap in the rear, and 3in gap in the front. They ride really smooth, just a tad stiffer than stock springs. Picked the springs up for only $100 brand new. They've been on the car for about 2 years and still feel great.

I'm looking to close the gap even more, maybe 1-1.5in gap front and back. Currently I have 19in wheels (staggered) with 275/30 in the rear and 245/35 in the front. Wheels are pretty much flush, no tuck/poke. Been searching for coilovers and was thinking of getting the Function & Form Type 2 coils. Anyone running these on a 1st gen LS? If so, how do they ride? Can you achieve a subtle drop? or do they go too low for my wheel setup?



here's how it sits right now

I looked back a couple of pages and I hadn't seen any, so apologies in advance if I missed it.


Anyone running PBM coils? the spring rate seems pretty damn stiff..

use the search function, you don't have to look manually. you can also use google to search in the forum.
They have been run, the rates are high but not the highest (Tanabe and Cusco sold extreme low kits up to 26kg/mm)
