You can get ksports for $750 or so shipped. But if you want better quality then go with BC Racing. They go for around $1070. That's what i'm going with.

Oh or you could get D2s'. I had those on my 98. They were pretty good coilovers, and the ride quality was really good too.

If you have air, I've got a controller!

Is BC racing much better than megans? why? Maybe I'll go with those instead. Thanks,

I'm running Megan's right now and love them, however i think I will step up to ksport airtech in the future since I love to fiddle with settings. If you prefer coilovers then I don't see why you should waste your money on anything more expensive than Megan's imho. They can ride really smooth like stock but more controlled and without the float. I just wish they had an option for polly upper mounts like some others out there so consumers have another option to work with.

we have pillowball uppers in the megans already, why do you want poly

or are you talking about megan not putting a camber plate in the top mount?

I have the Tein CS Coilovers and if you're looking to lower your car a couple inches all around but will never go for that uber aggressive (tire tucked into wheel well) look, then this is a good option.

Also, Tein offers the EDFC which allows you to change the dampening of your coilovers remotely which is pretty cool. I personally can't verify that because for some reason I have no nerves in my *** to feel to difference. Everyone else who drives my car can tho...

Price wise, these are on the higher end.

Thanks for all the advice guys. I was kinda hoping people who had suspension for sale would PM me with offers. IMO, Megand are good value, and would be the most affordable coilover I personally would go with. I'v seen D2s break, and have heard K-sport dampening adjustment is nothing more than a **** that turns and does nothing. neither of those things were on set that was installed on a LS400 though. I'v had 3 sets of Megans on various cars and have been satisfied each time. So if you have some Megans for sale, hit me up or some aggressive springs. I'd love Tein wit EDFC, but that is way more than I can put into the LS, and I'm looking for the most aggressive setup possible, and I don't have air
