LeXtasy Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 :blink if you want to lower it more than 1.0 inches, then try intrax springs.. i believe they lower it 1.5 inches: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWJ Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Intrax may not be the best for the money. I had them back in the day on another car - they were okay. It is recommended to change the shocks as well when lowering a vehicle. Other SC owners have had great results with the Eibach/KYB AGX combo. H&R makes good product. Then there are coil over systems from JIC and Tein as well as many others. To drop 1.5 you may need to get a coil over system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadistic Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I'll second that AWJ. Intrax aren't a very high quality spring. I would suggest Eibach/KYB AGX setup. I've used it on 2 cars and loved it. If you're someone that's worried about ride quality the AGX's are stiffer than stock on their lowest setting, just to warn you. And H&R do make a GREAT spring. I've seen many, many sets of theirs on cars and have had zero complaints. As for full coilover systems, Tein is the best IMO. I don't think in the asian market there is a coilover to compete with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToddLS400 Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 HI everyone, i'm trying to lower the front of my sc400 to match my lowered back due to very heavy subs. i want to drop it about 1.5 inches but i dont know what are good shocks and springs to buy. if anyone with experience in this field please inform me before i make a bad mistake. and where can i buy just 2 shocks and 2 springs? thanks. I put the Eibach Pro-Kit springs (1" lowered) on my LS400 a few months ago. I wanted to lower it after putting on my 18" rims. The rear of my car was a little higher than the front. I put a big mdf sub box w/2 - 12" RF woofers in the trunk last month with over 1000 watts between 2 amps bolted onto the box. Everything weighs about 150lbs in my trunk so it evened out. I did find 1.5" drop springs but I did not want to loose too much ride comfort. The car corners like a dream now with the new springs (- 1" drop) and the ZR rated Kumho tires. Eibach makes quality products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I am currently having my shocks and springs changed as I write. I should have it back tomorrow. I measured the ride height before I dropped it off, so I should know exactly how much it dropped when I get it back. I will post my findings in the Thread I started earlier today: Tokico Shocks and Eibach Springs. Check there for my results. Good Luck!
