Default Any good springs besides Eibach?

I'm lookin to lower my car, i've read a few threads on how eibach continues to settle in over time and I dont want that on my Lexus.

What other springs are out there that people recommend that won't settle over time?

thanks.

Any spring will settle in after installation, which is what you want. There are other companies selling aftermarket springs, but I don't think they are going to be any better quality.

I believe H&R just came out with their Sport Springs. It will definately be lower then the Eibach Pro-Kit.

Also, TEIN should be releasing their H TECH & S TECH soon. The H TECH is a more conservative drop.

But all springs will settle just a little over time. That's the nature.

With the only reason (around here) for going with a different set of springs is to lower the car, seems the springs "settling in" would be desireable? I mean, less wheel gap is the most important thing, no?

Are you talking about the springs "sagging" over time due to fatigue, not just "settling in"?

believe tanaba claims theirs dont sag ever. If you truly want it the most even possibly, you can go coilovers, but its more expensive

Just depends on how much you want to lower the ride and you have to consider alignment, stock shock compatibility, as well as clearance for some. I'm looking at the tein h-techs (advertised 1" front, .6" rear drops) for a nice subtle drop that will even out the difference in the stock wheel gaps. After settling, add another .2" or .3" and you 'should' be able to get the alignment back in spec.
