Now you are going to lower your car and want that look and then you will look back and say " those coil overs cost me $6000.00 . Don't forget I warned you. Good luck modding

I really only want to lower it only 1" or so. I just got new 17 AR wheels and Michelin Pilot SS tires and i feel every bump i go over. I know a lexus should ride much better than mine does. I really like the ride of the l-tuned suspension.

I think im going to get BC or Megan LP's. Whats better?
thanks
Michael

Normally the Eibachs will give you that drop but with some Billstein shocks , but ultimately you'll end up paying as much as a set of coilovers. Make sure you do your homework when choosing a set of coilovers specially with Spring rates..

the BC with swift springs can be customized with different spring rates. Thats the problem, I have no idea what spring rate will drive like L-tuned shocks and springs. You guys talked me into coilovers from Eibach and KYB struts and im trying to learn everything i need to know but i need some help.

I just found out BC with swift springs and Stance are the same price? Now what? Im so confused!!!!!!

Okay, I'm new to this and yes I have done research. Everyone seems to like or prefer springs with a non stock strut/shock combo. I was reading about the specs of the eibach prokit and it says something like "springs are compatible with oem shock/struts or replacement shock/struts". My question is, I was thinking about getting eibach and brand new shock/struts from Sewell. Will this work or is it a waste of money since these are stock and it will not support the 1" drop. My car is all stock right now, I plan on keeping the stock chrome (16"), but I don't want the wheel/fender gap anymore.
