Hey guys... Im just here thinking about coilovers for my ls400 and I was shopping around and I made my choice to get BC coilovers. But what keeps puzzling me is that the SC and Gs coilover looks exactly the same when posted right next to each other. From dealing with both coilovers what's the big difference? I know the weight of both cars come into play but that's you the have the coil adjustments. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Good question!

stock photos.

the GS/SC and LS have very different lower mount designs, stroke lengths, top mount orientations, spring rates, and overall wheel frequencies.

^ Yeah, they are completely different, so don't buy one kit and think you can swap it.

Spring rates are different.

if you could afford coilovers for a different car, why not just make it easier and safer to get coil specifically made for your car?

I understand what your saying but try and get ah idea from where I'm coming from. When you buy coilovers and u compare the springs aren't most springs 10 or 12 something? Only thing that might be different is the top and bottom. Almost all 90's lexus front ends are able to be swapped. Has anyone ever bought coilovers to keep their car factory height? Correct me if I'm wrong unless your the person making them all you can go by is what your provided with on that box and what you was told before you bought them. When a coilover blows out all u need to buy is a insert and your back on the road asap. Remember if people didn't start doing ****ery to cars in general the car game will be boring *** hell.. everyone getting new cars. It took 1 or 2 crazy *** people to successful get the ball rolling.
