Hi all, My brother recently got a 1989 UCF11 Celsior and from NSW to SA the rear right lower airbag crapped itself.

Leaning towards coilovers at the moment but was also thinking of going with normal struts and springs.

Are they bolt on like coilovers? read apparently some people had problems like matching the strut top mounts/holes etc? Cheers and thanks in advance for any help.

Been searching all day mate lol, waiting on reply from strutmasters for their coilover kit as it seems easiest and shouldn't have any problems with registration inspections due to the fact it's a non adjustable height kit.

Was hoping someone else would chime in with what they went with like tein super street, megan racing etc.... or normal struts and what kind of springs used?

I fitted the Megan Racing VIP coilovers to my 1990 Celsior about 15 months ago. They have been perfect. The LP's have a much more VIP ride than standard coilovers. Here's a couple of links.

Dont touch the strutmasters. Search
www.clublexus.com for reasons why. Many success stories on there with Megans.

Thanks for that Mark, Tried pedders and searching both local and national but not really a lot of options and very $$$

I just bought some megan Ez coilovers for my soarer (2-3 weeks wait) and will probably end up with either the LP you suggested or the Ez ones. Cheers mate exactly the kind of info was after

No probs mate.
Here's the guys (LSD Motorsport) that I picked them up through. Megan wouldn't ship directly to me, however these guys had great pricing & superfast shipping.
http://lsdmotorsports.com/prod/MR-CDK-LL91.html
The listing says for 95-00, however these were developed on a 1990 Celsior. Model #: MR-CDK-LL91
Good luck with it.

Just waiting for reply back from their Ebay store around 1k all up including shipping and can be here in a week.
Mark do you happen to know if they can be rebuilt?

After suspension is sorted all I have to get done is the ADR seatbelts........... No idea how it passed NSW inspections as is.

Hi Myles , I actually have a set of Tein CS sport units sitting on the floor to go in a mates Cel on sat , this is the third set of these that I have fitted and I can say they are awesome , only spring height adjustable not height adjustable so no probs there and they are made specifically for the Cel/LS400 .
If you had Skype on I could show them to you or maybe take a pic .
I get them off Yahoo Japan as I have a contact over there that sends goods on for me .
Send me an E if you want some more detail .
