Default Suspension Setups?

Hey just wondering what a decent but not too hard on the pocket setup for suspension is i had the tein adjustable damper in all my other cars. is tein good for lexus? or should i switch? i was thinking just doing the s-type and keeping my shocks till they blow then getting a damper system. but i dont want to compromise the ride quality too much let me know what setups you guys have ran/or run and how they feel. thanks!

Anyone have a recommendation for a shop in Chicagoland that can install the Tein's? Or are they easy enough for DIY?

Installing coilovers are super easy. Adjusting them perfectly takes the longest. Pick a decent weekend and you should be able to have it done in 3-6 hours depending on your skill level.

Coilovers are quite easy to install. But if you don't have the tools or free time to do it, you can try user "Chrisman". He has a shop in Palatine.
