I am sure that the front of the car will be slammed on the floor and the back will be really close on the lowest setting. I still have plenty of room to lower the car more. I took a drive last night and the same ramps I would usually take while driving I can now take them alot faster with little body roll.

You said that its fairly easy to change the settings? Just curious since I know nothing about coilovers, what are the steps, process to change dampening rates and/or ride height with the coilovers? need a jack? wrench? screwdriver? Thanks.

Well to change the damping settings for the front coilovers all you need to do is open the hood, remove the engine covers and the dial to change the damping setting is going to be at each side. To change the damping settings for the rear all you need to do is pop the inner wheel liner carpet out and the dials will be there at each side of the car.

Now in order to raise or lower the car you are going to need a jack. For the front coilovers you do need to remove the tires, there is little room to work with the tires turned to one side. There is also a special wrench that comes with the coilovers which is used to raise and lower the coilovers...For the rear all you need to do is jack up the car and you can reach the coilovers from behind the car to set the height required...Hope this has answered all your questions.

How much did you pay for your coilovers?
Did you install them yourself or did you pay to get them put in?
How much for the install?

I got them from the group buy going on at the moment, I think Luis at Carson still has some more left, this is the link to them https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=323677
I paid $180 to get them installed.
