1993 LS400 I need help with picking out shocks/springs....
I'm in need of purchasing new shocks for my 1993 LS400. I'm working with a budget so, I was wondering if anyone knows if this combo would work good. I want to lower the car but I still want to make sure the ride is still smooth as the stock combo.
KYB GR-2 Shocks or Tokico HP Shocks
H&R Sport Springs
Does anyone know how far this will lower the car? Also, will I need to get camber kits and are there any suggestions to what kind and the cost?
What combo works well together to lower the car and to keep the smooth Lexus ride?
Thanks!

H&R springs will lower the car approximately 1.25". From what I've heard, KYBs ride better than Tokicos...supposedly Tokicos give a sportier ride. You won' t need a camber kit (which will be very difficult to find) but you will need to get an alignment after the springs have settled in.

what about this combo?
someone i got in contact with has Tokico HP shocks with California Customs 2" drop springs. he says the ride is good. Any comments? Are camber kits needed for this? Thank you all for helping out a newbie!

KYB GR-2 is like a stock strut/shock, if at best, it may be 10% or so stiffer and I didn't notice a "sportier" ride in any of my cars that had it. The Tokico HP Blues are firmer and I've had them on several of my cars in the past and I like the firmer ride characteristics they give. This depends on what ride qualities you want.
With H&R, the Tokico's are IMO a nicer combo.

I'm looking into getting the Tokico Hp. I was thinking about getting H&R springs also, but I'm going to hold off to see if I can find the Cali Custom springs that another member here has. He says it is a smooth ride as well. And not as costly as the H&R's. What was the drop with the setup that you have (tokico's with h&r's)? And how is the ride? I want to keep the smooth ride.
