They did mine......easy peasy. They have worked on all the 7 cars I have owned in the past 4 years. From installing my procharger on my G8 GT, to painting my g35 coupe wheels midnight metallic purple.

Turn street advance
I recently bought these coil overs end of last year, 2015, and am relatively happy with them. Only thing I would like is for the spring rate to be slightly stiffer. I have the rebound turned up all the way. Rides best that way for this car. Lexus already rides really smoothe and I'm the type of person that likes a stiff suspension where I can feel the road. So a stiffer set up would have been good. But these coilovers are perfect for street use and light track day use. I drive my car 60miles a day and for the most part the softer mild set up these coils offer is great. If I was gonna track my car more I would step up to a stiffer spring and more aggressive damper. I have a evo X with KW V3 and that is about as stiff as I would ever go. Love that set up. Didn't wanna drop 3K on this car though with KW.
For a street car, probably the best coil over for your money. If you want to track your car more then once a month, get a stiffer, stronger, more adjustable coil over.
I think if I decide to track my car more I'll step up to the Flex Z or Mono Flex if it's even available.
Good set up. Can't go wrong here. I dropped the car down about 2in.

Brandyn98,
You might want to look into getting new toe links for the rear (FIGS makes good ones) if you plan on lowering 2". The stock links have limited adjustability (for anything other than stock height) and your tech will probably run into issues adjusting them. The lip where the toe cam turns against are usually bent so adjustments become useless. (I see you're in NJ, good luck with rust!). Toe is the number one killer for inner tire wear so many here seem to run 0 toe. Tracking the car may feel a bit loose but you sacrifice one thing for another.

Tein coil over setting
Settings on my coil over I run 2 clicks off full stiff rebound and I think it's still soft. Smooth ride.
I might even lower more soon. End links on sway bars are stock. If I upgrade sway bars I might look at new end links.

Im not looking to dump the car on its face but just close the gap a bit. for 500$ im not sure if its worth it or not.

Holy thread revival
same boat here
need to get suspension set up before wheels ant tires
dont want lowered springs because of strut blow out
want to keep a nice comfortable ride as I don’t care for track use
