jsl757 How do you like the Teins? The Teins look like a good system.

Not only are they beautiful in the box they look pretty good on the car too. The gold/bronze color can be seen easily from sideviews of the car...if you have open faced wheels. It looks so cool. The other Teins are green. The CS are gold and look sweet. So, not only do you have the sweet ride of comfort/performance, you look good too.

i have tein cs and i love it. it rides awesome, a lot better even with stock runflats. handling is improved definitely and i like how the suspensions respond to uneven road or bumps on the freeway now. less bouncy, like it

I'm surprised they improve the ride. Aftermarket suspension pieces, in my experience, have always stiffened things up at least a little, if not a lot. I might have to consider Tien.

yeah personally i have no idea what's wrong with the stock setup. somehow it rides pretty weird at times, especially on uneven road. my tein cs is more predicatable

I noticed that when I hit uneven road the whole car goes out of control. I think I will grab some Teins lol What is the lowest drop the Teins can drop too? I want to get rid of that Fender gap.

out of control meaning that the car is jumpng around? keep in mind the runflat is contributing al ot to that "problem" so ultimately, besides the tein cs, getting new tires are a must too

and you can drop the car low, for sure no finger gaps coz' that's what i am running on now and i can still go lower

you can get info here: http://www.tein.com/lexus.html
