Default Blitz Coilovers good for 2008 IS350?

Hi Team, I have a chance to get these:
https://trademe.nz/motors/car-parts-...ing/2164018311
Blitz coilovers cheap BUT I don’t want to have a rock hard ride quality!

I don’t mind firm but the main reason for getting coilovers is to drop the car about an inch all round not to make the car stiffer.

So who has run Blitz coilovers and how stiff are they??

cheers!

Blitz is a top brand and would be worth the purchase if they’re in great shape.

So , its the same as Megan EZ coils. It may be a little soft for some but they should ride close to factory. Some folks like a more firm ride. BC coils come in a standard 10/12 set up but can be customized. I think it would be a good purchase if you wish to retain a smooth ride.

Awesome as that’s what I’m after! Stock fitness with height and dampening control. And for NZD$700 that’s cheap!!

Thanks for all the info. 👍
