Best coil overs for 2017 gs
Im in search of a good set of coil overs for my new 2017 gs350. I have a 2014 with BC racing coilovers but not to happy with them. Ive had BC on all my other cars and loved them. Any opinions and suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks.

The reason you may not like them is because the default spring rate on the BCs are only 8k/8k. Im slammed on BCs with this spring rate and I dont have an issue, but then again I am also used to a harsh ride since Im so low. I would suggest ordering them with the optional swift springs

Ok I will say the best to worst ones, RS-R is by far the best coil-overs you can own they have a good life span with most members and the best part is they have a good customer service which is key for any replacements. BC is ok some members have purchased them and had some noises and some have had great stories about them, they are also very good with customer service and they ship things out quickly. Tein makes some good coilovers as well but not many memebers have purchased them. I also believe Megan makes a set for the GS as well and they are ok as well but the top two I would stick with. The worst I must say is J5 they had a good concept but I think most members have had issues with them and the customer service is non-existent, and the shipping takes a bit to get here since its based in Korea. Hope this helps, if you need more detail let me know.
BC coil-overs have the availability to change the spring rate.

8/8 on the spring rates for BC COilovers is too soft for the GS. We can bump those up to say a 10/10 or 12/12 at no extra charge.

I've been searching for what the ideal spring rates would be. I see most people are matching front and rears, I was wondering if it would make sense to run 12k front and 10k rears?

What's a typical life's span lets say for the rsr's, and what goes first, the strut part or spring?

RSR !! I tried two other brands before and hated them. RSR is firm enough for me but still compliant to daily drive on full stiff. No strange noises. I have the AVS compatible and it all works seamlessly.

Same. I've had mine for about 25-30k miles now. No issues what so ever, love'em.
