I think there are 3 brands, D2, Ksport and megan. There may may be more, the D2 can be rebuilt which would make them my choice. I would do some research and get feedback from the forums. I'm going springs and KYB

I'm on BC Racing coilovers for 2 years and they have been perfect through every season.

We usually Recommend the BC Racing coilvoer over any other in the under $1k range. they have some nice/unique features Like locking lower rings, beefier shock bodies, available rubber mounts, and better ride quality.

Shoot us a PM for more info or pricing

Magan seem to be the cheapest. I have used K sport and had 0 complaints performance wise. A little rough on the street though. But flawless on smooth pavement and holding its ground

Ebay is selling Megan EZ for $639 + $60 for shipping. Here's the Item number: 270657626840. I don't know anything about coilover except they are better then factory ones. But if you don't like these..you can always search eBay. Type the words (Lexus gs300 coilover). Ebay has K-sports, Megans, Teins, BC racing, KIDO racing and D2 racing coilovers. All around a $1,000 or under. Hope this helps.

Default D2

my d2 coils have held up well for the past year or two. i would recommend them for an inexpensive dependable fully functional coilover set up.

Hmmm... o really?!? ehhh ok

Well Im on D2. I would recommend them. Every1 that has ridden in the car cant believe the ride is so smooth... and so low. Also... hear say has it that D2 manufactures their own springs which to me is another plus.

Just FYI: KSport = D2. Done in the same factory and to the same specs, just different companies. Same thing goes for their airbag kits. I have K Sport and I love them (also since Im in AZ I know how to get a hold of the K Sport ppl in phoenix to get my stuff rebuilded when needed), but if I was you I would save up a little bit and get Stance coilovers.

just my .02
