What coilover setup do you recommend to get my lexus go low? I got tein basic coilovers now, and i would like to go lower.

you could always try hydralic suspension

Where would i get hydraulics to is200? And hydraulics are not legal here in Finland but it is not the problem.

I have a leaflet for a company that do a hydraulic suspension system for lexus is200 that i picked up when i was at the sema show, think they are an american company.

they had the system installed on a LS and it was nuts, went to the ground, chassis was resting on the ground and went pretty high up also had tv's in the boot that showed each corner...........will fish out the details later tonight.


there are a few pics on here somewhere, let me see

same kit was used on this.............

however have heard mixed reports from people that have used them.

well i don't know if they make them for the IS200 but in japan they have something called a SS kit for the GS300 what it basically does is lowers the bottom damper mount I think and allows a 2.5inch drop all round making the car very low on standard suspension. otherwise stock springs on koni shocks or any coilover really. but bear in mind if you go low your coilovers won't last as long and you will definently run out of adjustment for toe and camber at the rear to get decent tyre wear

can i not just add camber shims to the rear to sort that out?

im on TTE coilovers with shorter springs, im about 4/5 threads from the bottom on the rear and at the bottom on the front. not sure what the actual drop size is but basicly you can only just squeeze a 10 deck pack of fags sideways under the front splitter!... handles lovely but every day driving will break your back.

ive rolled every arch dead flat and had to put stretch rubber on the front to clear the arches. The rears have alot of negative camber to stop them from fouling the arches but doesnt rub at all except on majour full lock. as for having people in the back thats a no go! lol.
