Tein CST or CS version 2, has the softest spring rates out of all the aftermarket coils out there..If you want something close to a stock ride, this is it!

If you want a soft ride, don't get the megans. They're pretty low, and pretty stiff.

Actually the megans are only slightly stiffer than stock ride IMO. Their 32 way dampening/adjustable and for the price i dont think u can beat them. Let me know if you might want megans cuz i have a wherehouse hookup for $900 so PM me if interested.

Megans is the way to go. I promise you will love the ride. I ran the megans on my SC300 in NYC streets and loved every minute of it.

I'd like to hear from someone who's run Megans vs Tein CST. I'm planning on getting Tein CST but if Megans are more comfortable, maybe I'll change my mind. My stock setup is by far the most comfortable ride I've ever had in any car but I want to eventually go lower.

My cousin whos got a 95 400 is running the megan coils and thats the way im gonna go for sure also because when i ride with him, its very difficult to tell the difference between my stock 97 SC4 and his, riding on coils. Their very reliable and suprisingly make a significant difference in handling. I havent heard so much good stuff about the Tein coils except that its a pretty rough ride even though it improves handling quite a bit. But again i dont know why you would sacrifice quality for handling when you could get both with the Megans. Not to mention reliabilty and quality.

Like i said i could get them to you for $900 warehouse price so let me know, there not going anywhere for now but i cant make any promises so PM me if anyones interested.

Oh, and i could also get you D2 coils too for warehouse prices but again, i wouldnt recommend them over the Megans because their not quite as reliable and not as acceptable in terms of quality for our Lexus appetites

I honestly doubt that the megans are more comfortable than the tein cst. I have tein cst and ride is awesome, I have mine set to the "stiffest" setting too. My friends runs some meagans and the ride was no where near as soft.
