Default Impressions of my new suspension..

The Eiback/Bilstein combo is EXCELLENT! Car feels great! I have always been very against lowering a car, but this feels great, no mechanical issues (1'' drop, very conservative). The car aligned 100% after the change, all systems go. Car feels great, not harsh or rough. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants more control and performance without sacrificing ride quality.

a1exus - are you blind? To answer your questions - he said Eibach/Bilstein combo - mentioned in a thousand other posts - do the search. He said the drop was 1" and he's in Houston and his name is, er, "TEXAS"tyleGS4.

Duh...

Default Love mine too

I too went with the Eibach/Bilstein combo and am very pleased with it. But.... I wasn't aware of the Bilstein coilover option for a hundred or so more. Anybody have a first hand opinion of the difference betwen Bilstein coilover and Bilstein/Eibach combo?

Thorry if you're thenthitive.

He posts everywhere and never seems to absorb any information. He's like that guy in the movie Memento.

Bit-

Someone should give you a club lexus badge...that way you could be officially rude to everyone.

Tex- How much firmer would you say is it over stock? I'm thinking of some suspension mods and I like the Bilstein/Eibach combo

Eibach/Bilstein is stiffer than L-tuned. The stiffness is mainly from strut shocks.

Bit,
So he hasn't learned anything and repeated asking the same questions. If you don't like him, just ignore him I really wonder how he got 800+ posts.

Does anybody know of anyone who used L-tuned springs with Bilstein shocks?

L-tuned springs are Eibach springs so basically you're referring people who have Eibach/Bilstein. I had them on my GS before. My first suspension mod.

The L-Tuned shocks though are KYB (I think) and not Bilstein.

Now you're being rude, cornholio. Must be too much sun (or is that wildfire?) in Temecula.

Duh...

I have to agree with Bit on this one, check out his other questions in other threads, just in this forum along. I think alexus is trying to be sarcastic or funny. However, both attempts did not reach its desire effects.
