So I called up all the shops around my area, and the brand coilovers that came up is listed on the title. Could anybody share experiences about the product, and how much of a drop each brand offer ('00 LS400). Thanks!

So far JIC gives 3.5" drop.

nobody on these forums as far as i know uses the tanabe or buddyclub coilovers for the UCF2x

issue is primarily availability, nobody stocks these things (and tanabe/buddyclub dont "officially" import them into the US.)

since ur in HI maybe u should ask some of the local boards since i know theres some guys over there with some jdm suspension nobody here is running?

I didn't use coilovers, but had Tanabe DF210 springs and was VERY happy with the quality of the product, so I would generally assume the coilovers were a great product as well.

My money would go to Tanabe.
