tein cst's for my ls400

at l-tunedparts (thank you carson toyota)
but i dont know if i made the right choice. i've been scrambling around for pics of any ls400 with tein cst's on them and none to my availability(need pics of em super low) i'm looking to slam the shit out of my car
people say this and that about how it doesnt go low or whatever, but i've yet to see pics for troof, let alone these people who talk dont even have anything on their car.... x_x

just wondering, does anyone have pics of an ls on cst's????

CST are is the new model and CS is the old model. well, when i was doin research on coilovers for my GS, ive seen a lot on CL with CS and most of the people with drop them all the way where you cant turn the perches anymore. well, the outcome of that was a 1 finger gap all the way around with 19's. i told another member here about CS because he was just about to purchase them and i told him about CS's, so he listened to my advise and went with the tein flex. with flex you could slam the ish out of them to look like you have bags. the ride is very comfortable compared to JIC. almost stock feel.

CST will only give you a 2-2.5" drop max compared to flex 3-4" drop

helper springs are flattened out as soon as the wheels hit the ground anyway.

Got any more pics of your car? Looks hot to me. You might need to consider going with JICs or get a custom setup made.
