review the suspension section; it's filled with tons of info on most (if not all) s/s combos available including coilovers.

Do you plan on changing the shocks as well or just the springs? If you're going to use the stock shocks I would say go for the Tanabe NF210, the Tein H-Tech or S-Tech, L-Tuned or Eibach.

i would change s/s at same time. just save, do it right, and save time too.
but like darknight mentioned, your oem shocks should be ok on some conservative-dropping springs.

I went with your sugestion! The L-Tuned w/ the KYB GR2. I took off my TEIN Control Master Type II Flex (D6y98-U1931) Lexus GS 98-05 (2wd) 72002. They have 7K mile on them.
