Need A New Suspension Setup
and I want to keep a nice somewhat stock ride. My struts are blown out in the front and I don't think the guy I bought it from ever did the suspension. It has 100k on it and it's a 98 GS400. I want to get some coilovers.
I'd like it lower but not slammed and will be upgrading to 18's when I can get the wife to agree. I'd like a degree of height adjustability.
Money is also a big concern and I'll be doing the work myself.
Any recomendations?

from what i hear about the coilovers... if you're gonna do them do them right and get Tein CS's... but that shiznit is expensive...
the cheaper way out is with lowering springs from Tein or Tanabe or something like that... but i heard that's not good with stock stuff... but wait, since that shizzz is blown...
TEIN CS it is! haha gluck!

Is there any setup for cheaper that is recommended? Everyone out here pretty much goes with the Tein.
I really need new struts in the front pretty bad.

My advice is know your budget and wait for just the right oppuritunity to get them through your fellow CL member that is upgrading or switching to airride. You can see here through the classifieds and maybe read up on a thread that sum guy getting rid of some. I need to know your budget so I can ask around. My brother is thinking of airride since he saw mines but not sure. I pm you if you want these tanabe setup not low like how you describe you want from coilovers.
