Best place to buy Tein Basic for 1998 SC300? How much should I expect to pay?
Ride compared to stock? Trying to keep ride as close to stock as possible. Have had Tein Basics on other cars, and have been very happy with them.

I did some search on the forums, and people kept saying how bad they ride. 
So what would be the best lowering, that keeps the stock ride? I don't need to get slammed on the floor. Just a nice drop on 19 inch wheels.

I would try emailing sales@tmengineering.net. From my scouting of Tein CS prices, they have the lowest by a significant margin. Just tell them you are a CL Lexus member and are looking at acquiring Tein Basic's. I bet they can hook you up.

In most car applications the Tein basics have the softing spring rates, so it should be pretty soft, but not having dampering adjustment kinda blows.
I have the Tein HR on my s13 (got them used from Japan), they're ok but they are not adjustable. I want my next coils to be adjustable.
The Flex are good
