What would be the best coilover system on the market right now? I want a smooth ride where it is not too bumpy. Or would you guys recommend just gettin springs and usin my stock shocks for now? Or should I just do it right and get the whole coilover system? And one more thing, if I was to lower my car, do I have to buy a camber kit or them evo-r control bars? I am plannin to lower it only like 0.5-1.0 inch I dont want it too low, so much of a hassle

 

After spending hours and hours of using the search, i've read that Tein CS coilovers offer a softer ride with height adjustment. Also compatible with the EDFC. I've read nothing but good reviews on this system from people who were looking to smoothen out their ride.

 

BTW... Do you have pics of your car? I was looking at getting the SF Challenge w/ LA. Ended up getting Axis Milano. I was just wondering how it would look. Thanks, Mark

 

if you lower more that .8" then you may have to buy camber components....as for coilovers i have the hks ls+ and they are absolutely awesome: no noise, comfortable ride, great performance, and very easy to adjust

i have had the tein flex on another car and they were noisy and a bit too stiff for the street in my opinion

 

Im gettin my rims installed today. Got to take it to the tire shopt to put on my tire pressure system on my volks. When I do put it on I will post it.

 

I would say take a look at the price you are willing to pay and then look at the options.

If price was no restriction.
Handsdown, Best handling without sacrificing ride is the Quantum Kit as long as you don't mind paying the 3k price tag. Many top tuners in Japan use the Quantum (UK shock) with Sprint Spring combos.

 

Wow 3k? I was lookin towards like 1500 for a coilover or just buy springs. Would you recommend just gettin springs only or just get the complete kit?

 

here is a pic of my roomates clean lookin IS300

 

Yeap, well you can always check out the HKS coilover series they are around that range. If you aren't looking for too much of a track setup or height adjustment, just opt for the springs. You'll save a lot more and still get the lowering you want.

I think the vendors here can offer a good rate on tein springs.

 

Funny...
I just sold my IS 3 weeks ago to get the Z. Never looked back! Here's a pic
