Question ls400 spring quality and alternatives

been looking at getting some springs for my 93 ls400... eibach prokits seems to be very popular but at only a 1 inch drop. can you tell the difference in height when installed? anyone have the intrax springs installed on there ls4 that wants to share there experiences? 1.5 seems to be the lowest i can find without converting to coilover set.

If you want to wait a month or so, or contact them directly to find an ETA date, Tanabe will introduce the Sustec DF springs for the first gen LS's soon.

2" drop.

It's decent, but you will need to replace your shocks. They have another spring which has a higher spring rate and less of a drop, but it most likely won't go into production for the LS cars.

For struts - Tokico seems to be the best bet for OEM ride quality and a little performance. The stock Supra (N/A) struts I believe are Tokico.
