I had Tein S-Tech / KYB GR2 on a 99 gs300. Obviously much nicer ride than stock, handled very nice. Only goofy thing about tein springs on our cars is that they chose to put a stiffer spring rate in the back, and softer rate up front. Just felt a little odd to me while driving. Im a huge fan of Tein, but id choose a different setup for this car, just my opinion... hope this helps.

I'm on Tein Stech's/Bilstein HD's/ and Sage RCA's. The drop is 2.5" front and 2.1" in the rear. The ride is perfect. I really wanted to stay away from the stiffer/bouncier ride that usually comes along with most coilovers. I've ridden on BC's, Cusco's, Stance's, and Tein coilovers in my Suby and have yet to find a set up that rides as smooth and comfortable and what I have installed on my 2GS right now. Granted, the suspension set up is different between the Subaru and Lex, but I'm really happy with the choice to go non-coilover for this car. It suites my needs perfectly

So which one out of these 3 Tein, Tanabe & Eibach gives soft, comfortable ride that is associated with the luxury part of the GS? I also interested in a 1"-1.5" drop that will make the car look nice compare to the stock setup.

I actually do, but they're not that great quality, and they're saved on my work computer. I'm currently running 20" Work Meister S1's, but I think I might have pics when I had my 19" SF Winnings too........ I'll post them up tomorrow when I get to work.

Will any of the 3 Tein, Tanabe & Eibach Springs give you an even drop on all corners? I notice that each brand has a different drop size. I notice the front of my has a bigger wheel gap than the rear of the car.
