They are the racelands/ksport of Lexus GS, not suitable for a tC.

Myself would go with a coilover with an independent height adjustment to keep full shock travel and also damper adjustment. If camber plates are offered then that's a plus(B&G I don't think has camber plates available though ). Brands that meet those options are Zeal, JIC, B&G, Stance GR+, Function Form, Megan, K-Sport.

I just found out about them searching a week ago. I'm still waiting for the B&G's to arrive at the door. I could probably order the GR+ and maybe have them in less time. I don't know of the availability though.

I myself am about to try Stance as well and maybe for the company TC. We might carry them at Meng Motorsports, I'll let you guys know how they are since it seems like nobody else really has Stance on this forum.

They are known for being able to be slammed btw, so I'm assuming it should be near B+G status of height adjustment.

I don't think anyone is running Stance on their tC, not many know about them being even available for it. Stance has been around for a moment, it's just recently(don't know the timeline) that they released them for the tC.

Nobody should have any Stance TC coils in stock which is why there are probably no TC owners that have them to post reviews. Stance USA sent in a couple sets to get tested, but that is about it. Those Ebay sellers are most likely taking pre-orders.

I've been a member of SL since I ever got my own personal TC so I choose to come here every now and then.

And to keep this back on topic, KW coils are cool! Too bad they don't include top mounts though, that would've been awesome.

Bor-Chuan has definitely made a set for the TCs. Several owners rock them and love the coilovers. Did a quick google on Buddy club for TC and those are on sell as well, never heard reviews though.

And just to not leave you guys in the dust about Stance Coilovers, here is a pre-order section for Stance coils: http://www.scikotics.com/forums/show...34#post2197934

Stance won't be released until September. Limited stock.

Didn't you have them up for sale before? I'm surprised no one jumped on those. They are discontinued so you have some rare suspension on your car man.

Running on stock suspension at the moment but I'll be moving to coilovers when I get back home in a couple weeks. Instead of starting a new thread I figured I'd just ask here. Simply for show and a daily driver, what do you guys recommend for the budget conscience consumer between $1000 and $1300? In that price range there's Tein basics/SS, Progress CS1, H&R, Tanabe Sustec Pro S-0C/Type II and Megas Racing Street - from what I've seen so far. I was leaning towards the Tein SSs but is there a large difference between the basics and the SSs? I'm uneducated when it comes to coilovers beyond the research I've been able to look into here and there after work.

On a side note, what would be your recommendation on sway bars? Rear only or both front and rears? Was thinking Hotchkis for front/rear setup or Progress for rear alone. Any thoughts?

^^^ In my opinion if you are just going to be driving around and going to the shows but not taking the car to the track you don't need coilovers over $1,000.
As an example Function and Form Type 2 i heard are good coils for daily driving and they are adjustable. In my opinion i think you should look for good coils with medium stiffness of springs that will give you good preformance but not over the board where you will jump every bump ( like most performance coils will )
