Had another thread open on suspension but kind of accumulated to tires so I thought I'd start a new thread for this one:



Do any of you guys here know what the most budget friendly suspesion is to get that would match this height?

Seems like the perfect height, as for springs all I know of are the ones that only drop the car an inch (Tanabe) but they are a heck of alot more budget friendly than coils so if there are some springs I have no idea of that are like this height that would be a whole lot better than coils.

Any help is appreciated, thanks guys!

I'd be willing to bet that's an air suspension car so probably not an exact strut/spring setup out there that will get you just like that. Best bet would be to spend some money on a decent coilover setup so you can dial it in just as you want it.

to be honest the tanabe lowering springs will even drop the car at least as much as what you see there

If you use the tanabee springs on 22's you will completely kill the wheel gap from the photos ive seen

I think this car in your photo is on 21's

Yeah, owner says it's on airrunner systems with accu air e-level way out of my budget (lol)

Really? I didn't think Tanabe springs dropped that much, you are right about the wheels, 21' Work ST1. I really want to head with 21s from what I'm hearing alot better than 22s (also imo 21s look like the perfect sizing) How do you think the Tanabes would look with 21s I know there are also Megan springs that claim to drop the car 1.75 front and rear but how hard would that be to daily drive not too bad right?

I have a set of KYB struts, top hats and tanabe springs sitting beside me

it was in my opinion the best route to go to safely lower the car with the least amount of hassle , while retaining most of the oem feel

I wanted coils but its too much of a risk considering I don't know how they ride and how long they will last etc...

I don't know exactly how much they lower the car, but for 22's they are a perfect fit for me, for 21's I cant say forsure, but they should be fine

Here are a few shots of some guys on tanabees

Thanks for putting that together, I see the Tanabes do drop it 1.5 in front and 0.8 in the rear, found these: (https://www.redline360.com/megan-racing-lowering-springs-lexus-ls460-MR-LS-LL06) drop a tad bit more (0.25 in front more and .95 in rear) but with 21s I think it'll look more or less like the Tanabes with 22s. But are they even legit? Less than the Tanabes but I keep looking around to no avail of any members sporting these but the drop rates seem perfect.

I agree, I haven't heard anything about megan springs , but they do get great reviews for their coilovers so if its the same company it should be legit

Thanks for all the help, appreciate it alot. I went ahead and sent an email to the site that sells it and if it seems good I think I might get it. I'll update this thread as I progress!
