its a LEXUS FORUM. why do so many posts start with "whats the cheapest way...."
cheap aint good and good aint cheap. later on, when the car goes through tires and shakes down the road, remember i said this. wait until you can afford new, OR can afford a high quality used from a reputable seller.
in my experience, low cost coil overs are just that. a low cost shock mated to an adjustable spring with some very limited comp./rebound adjustment. anything with 30 positions is this. imo.
a shock /spring combo is easy, works well but height cannot be adjusted. i went this route with df 210's and bilstein auto cross shocks. rides very similar to a 330i. (buddy has one to compare to)
although my combo works well, i would like to be able to corner weight the car, or at least make it sit EXACTLY the way i want. in the end, i think i spent close to $900 for my set up. a quality coil over is about 1200-1400. face palm myself.... hope this helps
