I love the drop. Not too severe.

Do you have the spring rates/drop height and cost?

Tanabe has one of the best quality products. I had it on my IS250 and put over 200,000 miles on the exhaust and 80,000 miles on their springs. One big plus is their pricing is fairly reasonable.

Gonna have to disagree. I did NOT like that, it's a too lawnmower drone-y.
