Default Coilovers

Damn, I am not an expert in coilovers but this looks like our LS400 suspension on drugs. Not sure if it fits the LS but check it out anyway!

LouLe, you would hate the Tein HA's...they ride stiff and harsh. For the LS, the Tein CS would be a better fit if you want to stick with Teins...

Anyone knows what tein coilovers fit 1st gen LS? I don't want harsh ride but stable one. I know it is possible to get with coilovers.

That $2000 set is for Tein's most expensive coilovers WITH the EDFC system...that's NOT expensive! H&R coilovers are $2200, HKS are like $2400, and TOM'S Advox are like $2600...and all those don't have camber adjustment nor the EDFC system. See why I say they're inexpensive...?

The Tein HA's would NOT be my choice....too harsh. The Tein CS's would be a better choice..

As for the HA's, I can get them for $975 for the GS...

As for the LS400 (UCF10), JIC has the SF-1's for $1450 list. I don't have a hook for JIC so I can't help you out there...

Manaray, what about Tein CS for LS? How much can you get them for, how much with the controllers, how hard to install, how much harsher ride than stock.

Thanks

Anton

Here is the JIC part Manaray was talking about. I need to find out what kind of ride they provide. If the are "luxury feel" coilovers, I will get them in a near future.
