The reason why I want to pull my fenders is that I want to
go lower in the front. Right now at the height I have it, clears, no rubbing but any lower then I would have a problem. Maybe I should get 30 series tires for my front. Any suggestions?

I sold my ls430 to my nephew about 6 months ago but saw him this past weekend. He told me that the coilover is great. When I had the car, there is no noise from the coilover and none till this day.

The coilovers are quiet however they are very very harsh. I have a brand new set which I cannot use just sitting there. Save the stress and buy the tein cs imho

Are there not multiple models to choose from so that you get a firm or sporty or soft ride? Plus, can you not adjust the dampening?

To be fair i did have BC Racing coilovers and had them set on the softest setting. Once I went to 20s it was horrible riding. Compared to my last ls400 on teins it as like stock

Ofcourse it cant compare to Tein CS but IMO its hella good for the buck plus you can ride low without the harsh ride. I have mine for almost 2 year and the only thing i notice that is going bad is my driverside front shock. Other than that it doesnt make any weird noise or creaks. I drive my car low and my dampering setting is 15 front and 25 rear and i loves it

If you are talking about the megans then I have to agree with you. They are good coilovers, best bang for the buck.
