Default Hello From Ireland :)

Really have to stop buying cars.
I have a Mk4 Supra, Audi A6 Avant & Just purchased my Aristo 2 days ago.
I have no intention of modifying anything except a nice set of dished alloys

1998 Toyota Aristo 3.0 Twin Turbo
2JZ-GTE
Car is totally standard bar the alloys, it was import from japan by guy who rebadged it as a lexus as alot of aristos were
It has full aristo vertex edition

What coilovers can you guys recommend that I can drop the car
But keep the comfort ?

Welcome to CL, clean Aristo.

Since you're in Europe wouldn't it be easier to get your hands on a set of Bilstein or H&R coilovers?
