KW V3's, JIC, DG-5, Zeal, JRZ, Cusco Zero 2E, BC Racing ER
All the above suggestions from an IS300 forum.
I never hear of any of them, as my experience is BMW & Vette.
Any suggestions from the group? This is 98% street use, but it feels like the shocks are full of marshmellows.
Will probably do Hotchkiss adj sways. I think Koni fitment is available & they were nice on the M3.

I wouldn't get any of those coil overs for a street car. koni's or bilsteins would do just fine, and available from tire rack.

Yes, thanks, I know that now, but before this thread I never heard of any of them.

You'll probably need coilovers for when the turbo VTEC kicks in, yo!

+1. The Bilstein's supple high-speed valving will ride better and last longer, but the Koni's adjustability allows you to crank up the stiffness if needed, IMO.

Thanks that's what I'm looking for information.
