Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone could kindly give me some insight on which brand/model of coil overs seem to be the best for my 2013 ES350? I don't want to sacrifice ride quality too much as I do drive across the entire USA back and forth quite often. Thanks in advance.

I think most coilover systems are designed for performance and will generally sacrifice the ride quality. Why do you want a coilover system?

Well honestly I would rather have air ride suspension but not so sure that my bank account will allow for that right now. Lol. I'm only trying to drop the vehicle to give a slightly lower appearance and fill in the wheel gaps. I don't want to slam the vehicle by any means but in the past I have had better luck with coilovers vs drop springs when it comes to how much ride quality is sacrificed. Thanks for the reply.

I have BC Racing coilovers and having been driving on them at least 20000 miles. I'm somewhat like you I drive my vehicles a lot on the highway and put many, many miles on them. With these coilovers you can dial in the level of comfort. They work fine on smooth to medium road surfaces. The only downside is they don't absorb big bumps/holes as well as stock suspension.

I only had one choice of coilovers for my hybrid but I think with the ES 350 there are more choices. Like you, I also wanted to get rid of the wheel well gap without slamming the car. My coilovers are ride height adjustable so that was another reason to go with coilovers vs lowering springs.

What may I ask is a coil-over? I need to raise my front ES350 ride height because I cannot get it into my garage, so that is why I ask.
