whats the best coilover setup for ls 430 2004
I want to upgrade my ls suspension. I have the ultra but i am considering stipping off the air suspension in favor of coilovers, I really want to know what you guys who may have upgraded to maybe tein cs or jic magic or even the ls stock euro suspension think ? I live in brooklyn, ny and roads are pretty bumpy.

There are quite a few choices for the LS430, Tein, JIC, Tanabe, BC, Standard, JP, Session.... just to name a few. I had Tein and JIC and now I have the new brand (Standard), JIC is firmer than Tein( Tein is too soft and won't go that low), The new brand (Standard) is much smoother than JIC.

I have JIC's on my IS300, they are ride firm and comfortable, but you can adjust them to stiff and make the car handle like a track spec car when you want them to.
Whats standard coilovers? Their website isnt up yet its still being made. What are their specs? Is it twin tube, monotube? Anyone know this info? Can't really judge the performance of a coilover kit unless you know their specs, otherwise its a shot in the dark and another megan coilover company.

how would u compare the ride on tien cs and standards vs. stock with stock wheels and tires? i have never dropped a car before. i find the ride of the stock ls430 04 to be so smooth and cushy but there is a lot of body roll when cornering. do coilovers help improve the handling that much just by lowering the center of gravity?
