Not sure if they're compatible with the Lexus AVS but they will work with their own electronic dampening systems. The Tanabe Sustec Pro Seven and Five are active suspension coilovers systems that are compatible with their TEAS unit.

and nardeezy, thanks! just as I thought. Looks like there is a downside for having AVS, complete waste if i go coilovers..

Well, your existing AVS may work, you just have to verify with Tanabe/Tein. The good thing is that you might be able to use the existing wiring.

What are your exact wheel/tire specifications? I've seen a 22" tire (Toyo or Falken 285/25/22) that yielded an overall rolling diameter close to the tires that I have (26.8"-27.1"?). Either way, you're better off with the NF210's or the more conservative Tein coil springs but you may still rub a little bit in the front. I have the NF210's and it's okay, I rub a little bit. However, if I were to try a lower profile tire; 235/30/20 in the front and 285/25/20 in the back, I might not rub. Using those tires will yield an overall rolling diameter that is qual to the stock 17" or 18" wheels/tires (25.6"-25.9"). Currently, my tire setup is approx. 1" larger (26.8") in overall rolling diameter than the stock wheels. By the way, if you had the stock 17's with the Dunlop runflats, they spec'd the overall rolling diameter (27.1") incorrectly on their website. I verified that by putting my current wheels and tires next to my stocks and my 20's are signifcantly larger than the stock, it's nowhere near 27.1".

kev i have no idea on the notification. obviously i can't subscribe to threads otherwise i will be getting 50 emails a day
on the avs, at least on JIC you will lose that feature. i can't say 100%, but i would tend to believe with tanabe and tein you lose the avs as well. not that it matters that much imho
