Most likely, you will ruin your stock shocks. Pirelli has always been one of the best tires in my book. Stay away from dunlop if you like quiet tires. _________________ Lexus accessories

The life of the struts on average will be shortened to one year after installation of springs. The L-Sportline suspension has known to be a bit harsh for a number of users. However this has been a problem usually attributed to the spring rate and not the struts.
Should there be currency in excess, it would be highly recommended by most enthusiasts to go with a coilover set up from TEIN with the EDFC. This is due largely to its ride quality adjustibility by a computer mounted in the car (the EDFC). _________________
