Shopping for shocks for my '02 Lexus IS300. Pretty much a toss up at this point between Koni's and Bilstein's. Sorta leaning towards the Bilsteins because of 1. the price, and 2. I don't think I'd really use the adjustability. But, I'm left wondering if the Bilsteins would be as firm/sporty of a ride as the Koni's?? Outstanding reputation on both, but the Bilsteins seem to have a better reputation in the truck market than the car, with the Koni's taking over that lead a little, no??

Honerable mentions go to Tokico and KYB...just incase anyone has any input on these.

 

How do you drive the car?

 

Normal!! Not high performance...i.e. no track days and stuff. But, I still like a tight feeling, firm, sport handle. I am not looking for a Cadillac.

 

my dad has an is300, its ghey rides like crap anyway

 

Ummm, what ever. Good thing what they say about opinions is true... Thanks for the productive input

 

I would think the Bilsteins would be fine than.
