Agreed on KW. This is something you want to do right the first time.
Too many times are there horror stories of generic suspension not only breaking welds (dangerous) but also making noise, clunking, etc. Way too many headaches. That's something you do in a $3,000 beater Civic, not a $45,000 luxo car.

I hear you. So many times people bring their Honda mentality to more expensive cars. Buy good parts--do it once do it right. Cheap out with generic coilovers and it will only cause headaches. Suppose you have to remove it, return it, service it, etc. That's a lot of downtime.

to those who are stating, despite the cost spent, that i save up for 'better' coilovers, i feel quite confident in my purchase after doing research online on the product, anecdotal collection from club lexus members, as well as my pleasant experience with rs*r down springs. if they need to be replaced for any reason other than wear and tear, i will admit that i impetuously made a mistake. i honestly don't feel as that is going to happen, though.
