jbatast Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I am now committed to Eibach on my 97 LS400. The next question is KYB or stock struts. This is my daily driver. I am a liar.. lawyer so I will nee to take people around. I am not looking for a super car that handles on a dime but rather a more sportier suspension, like my stock Honda Accord 4-door or 300M. I am not considering any other struts or coils or anything. I know that some people have tried Eibach and KYB and Eibach and stock. What is the difference between the two. Will I hear more noises with the KYB or stock. HELP me please. Cost is not an issue. Ride is. Can any state how much stiffer the stock and KYB's are?

90LS400Lexus Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 If you are referring to struts- the previous owner had just installed the gray colored KYB struts on the rear before I purchased it. The ride was very, very stiff and harsh. So bad that I had OEM Toyota struts installed. Ironically- KYB makes Toyota struts, but mack them much softer. With the Toyota struts- my car has a smooth, soft ride- like it was designed to have. I recommend Toyota-Lexus struts. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90LS400Lexus Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 It had quick, sharp, jumping motions. Very un-Lexus like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
