I know you expected to see the Apexi coilovers but a lot have happened the last few weeks. Once i purchased the Apexi coilovers the next i received an email from the seller that Apexi does not manufacture anymore coilovers for the IS300 due to low demand. So he suggested to refund me or to supply me with another coilover brand. So I went for my second option which was the Tanabe Sustec Pro-0C coilovers. They have good reviews in USA and have credits for the ride comfort and sport performance simultaneously. They are not adjusted in stiffness but they have stiffer springs in compare to Apexi. They front are rated 10kg and the rear 8kg.
From first view the quality of the coilovers looks to be very good...I hope they are also good and comfort during driving. My other problem now :blink: is that the front coilovers come without top mounts, which I do not know about this. In the manual it says that i have to used the oem upper mounts. I was thinking to use the upper mounts from the K-Sport, is this possible? Or should I go and get a set of new oem upper mounts since i do not have my old oem struts anymore. Actually it is a long time that is thrown into the bin :ph34r:
