Well what are you trying to accomplish...do you want OEM ride or a stiffer/sportier feel.

Not sure if I should post a separate thread for this but.....I need new struts on my '99 GS400.
I bought this a few months ago, it was a bit neglected and I definitely want to go all out and get this car in nice shape.
My mechanic suggest new struts and springs with a 1in drop. Does that work on this car and could ya'll shoot me some suggestions on what brands?
Much appreaciated : )

What exactly is the difference between coilovers and, well not, lol. Sorry, not very mechanically savvy : )
Also, I'm assuming I should do all 4 of them at the same time, whether I need them or not?

I went with the KYB G2's with NF210 drop springs and the ride feels like stock until you hit the turns. I def happy with this set up but wish I would of gone with coilovers because now I want it lower.
Coilovers are the strut and spring as one. They also allow you to adjust how low you want to go where shocks and struts have no adjust-ability for height

Be careful buying shocks on ebay, there are a lot of fakes out there. I had supposedly purchased KYB's and they lasted me 10k miles before they all started leaking... My new bilsteins came from http://www.shockwarehouse.com/
