I would be looking at the Bilstein setup with the adjustable spring platform mod with Eibach or King springs.

I ma upgrading my bilstiens again, they are great for daily driving, but still not stiff enough to slide my car properly
Bolt in package minus top hats
4 bilstiens, shortened
4 tein springs 13.7 & 6.7 kg

$1100 all up if you want them... :-)
The bilsteins have also been modified and have adj height with circlips and a spare circlip if you ever wanted to change them to full threaded coil over sleeves.

k-sport is the same as D2/G4 (so i am told) coilovers... so they are of questionable quality at best. i just get a set of hsd coilovers, worth every penny, excellent ride quality and brilliant handling.

Is there anyone out there that could help me with my problem.
I bought a JZX90 Chaser a few weeks ago and I have burst one of the back shocks.
They were KEI Office Gold coilovers. I can not find any listing for any type of coilovers for my JZX90. Would Supra or Soarer ones fit my car?.
Please help if any one can.

Do you have to have coilovers? I would imagine standard or aftermarket springs with new shocks would work well enough and be a lot cheaper. I'm looking for shocks for my JZZ-31 at the moment- I have no need or desire to change stock springs so new shocks should do the trick.
