Default eibach springs

Does anyone have the eibach pro-kit 1" drop springs on their 92-96 es? i am considering buying some if i can get a resonable price as long as they make a big difference. If anyone know where i can get them the cheapest please let me know about that too. I figure a strut bar and those springs might improve body roll and cornering but if not im sure one of you experts here can tell me. Thanks

get the "sportlines" . They will drop your ride 2" more. Use the OEM struts ( if they are still in a good condition ). Lexus' struts are actually as good as aftermarket's. You will still feel comfort inside.

I have tried both, they all felt the same . Technically, the lower you go the stiffer you get.

I have a set of Eibach coil springs for a 92-96 ES 300. I had them on my car until I sold it a couple of years ago. I have them in my garage. If you are interested, please email me at newzdave@aol.com

Eibach sportline springs will NOT work properly on an ES unless there's a perch, which translates to "fake coilover" like the Ground Control system. The ES uses a strut that supports the spring, whereas the GS & LS have the springs and shocks separately, a double-wishbone setup, thus, the springs can be easily changed out.
