I'm on stock suspension right now, but getting coils soon. Two weeks ago, I drove my friends IS350 with Megan EZ coils and absolutely loved it! I was gonna go with springs at first but after coils there's no turning back!

The IS I rode in was actually a CL member's car. He has no gap between the tire and fender well and I was impressed with the ride on BCR coils. Was not harsh at all but he did say that he set the coils more toward the soft end. How does it compare with my stock suspension? ...to me it felt pretty damn close.

^^^^^Hahaha it was my car he rode in. No gaps all around and the ride is great. I say it's better than stock suspension. I have them set on 13 click from soft in front and 12 in the rear

BC Racing Coils are the best bang for buck. I went from H&R Springs to BC Coils and was happy with the ride.

It's interesting to me so many rave about the BC Coilovers on here. The shop I'm taking my car to have the work done at said they wouldn't put BC on their Lexus. This is a reputable shop who many on these forums suggest.

He seemed very pleased to hear I was going the F-sport setup. But in the end I guess it just matters what you want. I don't want to slam my car.

Everyone has an opinion, you just need to research and decide for yourself

Is it bad that I'm regretting going F-sport shocks/springs and I don't even put them on until tomorrow morning?

Tein sucks! (joke just sucks not public) They are right down the road from me and won't let me pick up some Tein SS Coilovers before tomorrow. Oh well. I need to be more low now.. i'm embarrassed to even drive my car w/ these 19s at stock height.

On a side note does anyone know why they don't offer Tein SSP for our car?

Actually looks like I may be able to get tein CS or SS. Still can't really figure out which is better even after reading 100 articles. I definitely don't want "bouncy".

Get the tein S tech coils, perfect drop and GREAT ride. I put BC coils on my car and ended up going back to the S Techs...
