Hey guys, I got my hands on some money and thinking of gettin me the L- tuned suspension. Now im not looking for anything super stiff, I dont want to lower the car, I just want something stiffer then stock that still as smooth as stock yet stiffer. Will I be satisifed with L-tuned? and whats the price on springs and shocks? I found some stuff on ebay for around 400, can the setup be found cheaper?

I don't think the l-tuned stuff is being manufactured any longer, but from what I understand, the springs will lower your car about an inch. BTW I was just quoted a price of $416 from Sewell for S/S combo.

L-Tuned springs will lower your vehicle by 20mm!

l-tuned lowers approx 1.25" all around


if you don't want to lower, but want a stiffer ride, get Bilstein sport shocks and use them with stock springs





Now I'm just waiting for the coilover G-ds to come in here and sway you differently

Wait so the springs play no roll as far as stiffness? just the height? so I can buy the shocks and keep the stock springs and get my desired performance?

I have been surfing around Cl and have seen a few refrence to this setup and a clunking noise I too wish to stiffen my ride a bit (not too rough though) but dont want to lower the car any. I have a 98 GS400 with 20" wheels. I dont have a ton of room to lower so stock highth for me is fine. Just want to make it drive better on the freeway. I probably will do the l-tuned ecu, and am tring to figure out what to do tho the shocks springs. Any info would be great.

Hey man I had the l-tuned setup for a year and it was awesome. Rode like stock nice subtle drop and comfy ride. If you want an aggressive drop this is not what you want but for a nice subtle drop it is great.

So I should buy the l-tuned springs? Are they any differen from stock springs besides the fact that they drop the car? I can live with a small drop but I would only buy the L-Tuned springs if they were actually made of a stiffer metal.

Hey Guys,

Here is a picture of my car which is a GS 400 with L-Tuned Shocks and L-Tuned Springs, It might be a little hard to see the drop of my car in the grass but I will try to take some better pictures of it on the street for better reference.

I may be selling my set-up soon due to the TEIN CS Set up is back ordered a couple more weeks from the last time I called TEIN directly. ( Hint...Hint!)

Cheers,

How will it work with 20" wheels, I knoticed your running 19". I get the occasional rub now and then in the front, thats why I wish to try and stay stock heighth.

Since L-Tuned may not be available anymore, and since the L-Tuned springs are actually Eibach and the shocks are rebadged KYB, you can get a similar setup by using the Eibach Pro-Kit springs along with KYB shocks. For a little stiffer go with the Bilsteins, which are also lifetime warranty and better quality. The L-Tuned springs ARE stiffer than stock, it is absolutely worth changing them if you want to take the looseness out of the ride, to answer your question.

Mrbig

So what about eibach springs and Bilstein shocks what would that do and how you guys think the ride will be ??? Since the L-Tuned is renamed KYB's and Springs are renamed Eibachs ???
