Default Tein vs L-tuned

Man, ordered the l-tuned shocks and springs, and my mechanic at the dealer really pushed me on getting the tein coliovers saying they would be the best buy and worth the money. He really recommended them not saying anything bad about the l-tuned but just saying that the teins would be well worth it.

I need your guys opinions and where is the cheapest place to buy off course and which model? any other infro. would be great as well. Thanks and enjoy the warm weather

If you want to something comparable to stock, Tein Flex.. very expensive .. just released.. alot of member is jump on the band wagon.. If you want performance and suffer some ride quality, stiff.. Tein HA.. quite a few are being sold in the Classfied... cause they all want Flex..

Can the HA's and FLEX hit the same drop point? I would really like to bring the GS down about two inches.

Also, do you have to take all of the wheels off to lower the HA's and FLEX models?

Thanks for the help!

With Flex you can drop it on the floor.. Is that low enough..

Can't wait to compare the ride between HA and FLEX when I take a spin in LexusRules's GS..

Sounds like Tiens are the way to go!!

So do I need to pull off the tires everytime I want to drop it? And is Steve over at Carson Toyota the best contact to get the through?

Thanks for the help!

Hey Gene,

You didn't by chance get the EDFC did you??
I set my damping settings on the SC at 8 clicks from the softest on the front and 6 clicks from the softest in the rear.. Rides just like stock IMO..
