Spankyy

Hey guys, i just recently picked up an 02 IS300.

I was looking at the sportline which is a 1.4 inch drop. My friend told me that the ride is kinda crappy.

My friend told me to look into Hotchkis, which is a 1.5 drop in front and 1 in the back and he said that the ride was good.

and my other friend told me about S-Tech's.

Out of your opinions which is the best ride, as this is going to be my everyday car so i just want it lower for better looks but dont want to sacrafice much of the luxerious ride. Please help. TIA.

You should check out the Tanabe NF210's, I think that its the perfect drop and Tanabe is a great company!

i have koni yellows on the lower perch with eibach prokit and i love the ride quality, adjustability (height and dampening) and the handling.

Apex84

I have Road Magnet Springs with a 1 3/4" drop and it looks and rides great.

I have a group buy going on these right now. Hit me up if you're interested.

^^^who makes the "Road Magnet Springs ?

Apex84

Road Magnets are made by Road Magnet. They used to sponsor Team Lexus, the former Lexus factory backed race team. If you're interested I have a group by going on right now.

You should get some $75 coilovers off ebay, those are the best! Just Kidding

I have several of my friends cars including Apex84 with the Roadmagnets and they are very reasonably priced, I would go with those.

im putting on eibach pro-kit with bilstein shocks. ive heard the ride is good and its not too low to scrape everything.

Just remember Bilsteins are pretty stiff shocks, and they are not adjustable...

I like my Tokico Illuminas w/ Tokico springs. + Illuminas w/ Eibach Sportline is a good setup. As well as Tein s-techs with Konis.

I have the Tein High.Tech springs. They dropped my car 1.4" up front 1.2" in the back. The ride is very comfortable, check them out

I agree. They have a 1.5 front and 1 in the rear.

i say go with tein CS - they are adjustable and more comfort oriented.
you can go lower/ higher to suit your tastes.
