Default Tein SS and Tein CS

I'm curious about which one drops lower because for some reason when i was reading about them on the tein website, It said the drop on the Tein SS was only 1.9inch for the front and 1.4inch for the rear, and the drop for the Tein CS was 1.4inch for Front and .7inch for the rear. So my question which one will drop the car more? does any of them lower the car more then 2 inches?

Tein SS will drop lower, but it will be a harsher ride than the Tein CS.

Click over to the CL Vendors Marketplace and check out the GB on TEIN SS and CS coilovers going on right now. Both Sewell and M1 autosports have some great prices for TEIN! Sewell is a little cheaper, but M1 is in SoCal and will install for cheap.

I just got the TEIN CS's installed today, and they are awesome! They are very smooth on the damper settings of 7 front, and 6 in back. Way smoother than the stock Lexus luxury suspension! And handling is much better than stock as well.
