i dont think any company makes just the coilovers alone, you need to buy the full coilovers suspension... i would recommend JIC Magic or Tein, they would run you about 2grand.... you get what you pay for ....

I was looking for the same thing. Tein is stiff, but JIC-Magic is on the money. I have the sport suspension, and after getting the JIC's it was even better. JIC FTW, IMO.

Do you have any pics of your car? How easy is it to adjust them?

Here you go. Damn, I need to get a new photo . To be honest, once you set your height and stiffness you will not adjust ever again. I've had my set-up almost 2 years, Haven't even adjusted them.

another vote for the JICs

don't forget that the JICs (as well as the others Tein, HKS) also have damper adjustment. JIC offers 15 way damper adjustment.

I adjusted my height a couple times to make sure I had the height where I wanted it within the first month. After that...set and forget.

+1 I love em! Yeah, Tein Flex are stiff, Tein CS have a nice ride but from what I see and hear from the Lexus GS community you won't be able to achieve the "dumpt" look. They're limited in low height adjustment. JIC Vip's are like the ultimate option - capable of slamming yet maintain a comfortable everyday ride.

Yes they are kind of pricey - But exactly...you get what you pay for. Just do it right the first time so you don't waste more money fixing your mistakes/regrets.
