Default gdoutlex needs suspension advice
aites guys need some advice i need to raise up my car since its too low for my taste and the ride is pretty rough. im thinking one finger gap all around with supra tt stock springs and shocks. OR TEINS s-tech which i think is half a finger gap with the supra shocks.

I have Tanabe nf210's and tokico blues. Luv it! Spring rate is only 5% stiffer than stock and tokico blues dampen them quite well.

Ive had experience with the df210s as well, they do ride pretty dang smooth and they were a lot smoother than then teins i had. thats comparing, same car, same wheels size and tires, same struts, just diff springs. none of that comparison was on a lexus.

Brian is right, budget is right, and also what do you plan on doing with your car?

hard parker? cruiser? track? etc?

That will also decide how much Do RI MI you gonna spend.

Im personally loving my stance gr+
