Default coilover options for my 93 ls400?

I just purchased a 93 ls400, and as much as I would like to keep the factory air option I want to go lower 2-4", the factory wheel and tire OD is 25" and my new wheel and tires are the same. Being I have factory air ride I will have to look into a complete swap to coilovers or get some bilsteins, top hats and coils.

What are my options?

I have heard the megans and k sports are cheap in $ but also cheaply made aluminum and also dont go as low as some would want and also bottom out, I also looked into BC racings coilover setup, but not too many dislikes or even much info on them. I also looked at the teins but they only start at 1995 and up.

Any ideas? What should i do? I want to clean up the wheel gap and have a decent ride! Thanks...

Default will ucf20 coilovers work on a ucf10?

will ucf20 coilovers fit on a ucf10? aside from them being shorter, will they fit? or if any changes? because i would like to use teins on my ucf10 but they are made for the newer body style.

Please search the forum or at least read through the thread on the first page. your 2nd question has been answered.

also, making multiple threads at once on similar topics is bad forum etiquette. hence the merge.

20 coilovers will not work on a 10, you have it backwards. 10 coils are shorter than 20. 20 coils have too much stroke on a ucf1x so any coilovers made for a 20 (notably, tein) will not work properly on a 1st gen. Megan and BCR were all designed on UCF10s.

search for peoples experiences with the coils you mentioned, no real reason for another thread on the topic...

I'd recommend the Megans over the KSports, the EZ's are a good entry level option for the money.

Hit us up and we can answer any more questions you might have and help you get a set

I have BCRs on my UCF10 and they are awesome, ordered them through CircuitMS and it was right around 1k shipped.
