What about if I replaced my shocks, struts, and springs in one fell swoop?

 

then what?

all your previous questions about longevity would be irrelevant since you would be buying new struts, and obviously wouldnt buy OEM if you plan on lowering it.

 

i ran eibach's on my first LS years ago on stock struts. had 193k on it and struts were still fine.

 

eibachs would be fine, as would any other "mild" spring. (mild is 1" or less).

Tanabes are a lot more.

 

haha i just randomly cutted my stock springs i have an ls400 1990 the drop is beautiful i cut 1 3/4 coils in the front and cut 1 1/2 on the back the look is great and before this i bought the tanabe d120 dress up springs and i wasnt satisfied i installed it on my 1994 ls400 instead because it had sideskirts and better body look to it...

i love my 1990 ls400 its much better on my steering and response is much quicker theres no freeplay on steering my alignment is straight and beautifully running smoothly

haha i did the redneck style i know im cheap but no one has to know unless they ask...

haha CUT YOUR SPRINGS EVERYBODY YOU WONT REGRET IT

 

leave cutting springs to the honda civic guys, your driving a lexus

 

how's your ride?

 

i have a 92 Ls and i have some h&r 1 inch lowering springs and would like to close the gap a little more, im looking for some 2 inch springs for the rear, can someone give me some direction please? thank you

 

tanabe springs.

 

Tanabes will work as stated before but they will feel different than the H&R's. I have a set of Tanabes for my 95 and switched them back to the H&R's - too soft for my taste. Good luck.

 

tanabe makes probably the shortest set of springs. you'll have to buy a full set though; can't just buy rears.

 

thanks guys

 

cut em



hahaha, j/k thats ghetto!

 

cut my h & r springs? wont it effect the spring integrity?

 

it will make the bouncy. the spring will be fine, but your ride will get bouncy.
