Since I am getting my coilovers installed I was wondering how other people felt. The suspension on the LC/LX is the most important part to make the vehicle feel like go anywhere in comfort Cruiser.
I had a 100 LX and converted it to OME 1.5" Lift. In the beginning I hated it but overtime I grew to like the springs and the road feel as opposed to being disconnected from the road (I did hate the firmness of the OME spring and was used to it until I got my 200). When buying my 200, I drove over 10 LC/LX trying to make a decision on which I preferred and ended up going with the Toyota and paid more $5k more for it. I was able to park the LC easier with less hassle in a tight car dealership parking lot then the LX. Also, the LX had a very annoying bounce to it that no matter what setting I put it in it didn't feel plush or sport. I do believe the AHC in LX200 is much more reliable and good for ~200k miles. Also, the height control was a nifty feature getting in and out of the vehicle.
I drove around last night with my Icon front coilovers installed (stock rear springs) and it felt soo much better than stock. One side was taller than the other but it still felt plush (not super plush) but plush even with only the fronts installed. Getting rears installed today and hopefully having fronts fixed as well.
