Can't give you a ride since I am in San Diego, but for what its worth, I love mine. Ride is solid.

It is rougher than stock ITR.

 

somebody give the man a ride so he can buy a set

 

Does anyone know the spring rate on the Low Downs?

Here's the information I have from my research when I was buying the lowdowns.
Spring Rates - Mugen
Front – 385 lb 6.8 kg/mm
Rear – 245 lb 4.5 kg/mm

Spring Rates – Stock
Front – 246 lb /in
Rear – 140 ~246 lbs/in

Stock rates converted to kg/mm
Front – 4.4 kg/mm
Rear – 2.5 ~ 4.4 kg/mm


1 kg = 2.20462 lbs
1 mm = 0.0393701 inchs
conversion factor = 55.997317

 

Personally, I would rather buy a full coilover set considering there does not seem to be much of a difference between stock and the low downs. You can obtain similar spring rates just by installing H&R or Eibach springs with bilstiens. And I am sure that would cost less than the lowdowns.

I don't think it is rougher than stock.....instead I will say the Lowdowns give you a more SOLID ride than stock, and the adjustment on the shock can give you something to play with in the local autoX

exactly...i would say the lowdowns are more of an extension of the stock susp...
where the stock setup ends, the lowdowns pick right up and go from there...

it was a very smooth transition going from stock to the lowdowns...
seemed very intuitive and natural...

 

no offence to you but I didn't ask your opinion, nor is this thread asking for your opinion. I was asking for a ride in a car with them. I do appreciate everyone else's input on the ride they provide, however tellign me to buy a completely different set does seem a bit offtopic

we could discuss other matched spring and shock sets until the cows come home

please stay on topic

thanks

</TD></TR></TABLE>I am sure aamir was just trying to help you out. I guess this holiday season is driving everyone nuts.

 

I actually spent 4 hours helping my dad make a deal for the new TL with nav and full body kit just now....mabye I am a bit tense

 

No probs.... I am sure the Mugen lowdowns are butter.. If you have the money I am sure they are worth it. Good luck
