Which shocks will stiffen the ride quality a little without losing the lexus ride? I was thinking of getting some tanabe springs and someone said that bilsteins are the way to go with the tananbes and I just wanted your input about Bilsteins.

 

next time search, there are probably 20+ threads on this topic alone. tokico gives the stiffer ride but bilstein and tanabe go hand to hand.

 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SEARCH!!!


and Bilstein doesnt make shocks for the 1st gen.

 

yea...kyb and tokico are the only shock makers right? aside from coilovers.

 

If you want the "Lexus" ride, buy Lexus shocks. That's the only way to retain the OE ride quality. KYB's will stiffen things up a bit, Tokico's will stiffen it a bit more, but are a better "high-performance" shock than KYB. KYB is meant to be an OE replacement, but they're also about 10-20% stiffer than an actual Lexus shock.
