Default Coilover Question

Ok, please don't make fun of me, just starting to get back into Lexus game again. I had a 93 GS lowered on 18's when I used to get on here alot about 7-8 months ago....anyways. I got back into the game with a 90 LS. I have been looking for coilovers and getting mixed reviews. I see some ads for 90-00 coilovers, 89-94, and 95-00 coilovers. Just wondering which ones I should be looking for?! Or do coilovers fit all years 90-00 the same?! Any help would be greatly appreciated, pretty tired of not being low anymore! Thanks again!

Well, the cheapest ones out there are the Megan EZ coilovers, make sure to buy from our wonderful vendors on CL!

i just ordered the megan ez coils, i will be sure to let u know soon how they ride, from the specs they arent much different from the lp's. The only difference i see is that the lp's are 36 way adjustable, and the ez/s are 15 way adjustable.. spring rates are very similar, the ez's might actually be softer
