Most people don't go through 5 sets of suspensions to be able to determine the best. Most of of would say Tein CS but that's because that's what a lot of us have. I went from stock to springs to co's. I don't believe there are a ton of companies that make co's for lexus. What I can say is I am pleased with the Tein CS. I have comfort and enough handling stability to pretend I'm in an exotic sometimes. Just the other day I said, let's turn this corner at 40mph to see if it can do it. I chikened out and did it at 30 and realized I probably could getaway with 40. What a feeling to do that and still have comfort. That's what I like.

Hi Tommy, and welcome again to ClubLexus. We have a specific forum for suspension questions for the GS and I've moved your thread there.

I do want to ask you to please use the advanced search feature of the forum. Most all of the questions you will come up with have been asked many times before and you can get your answers immediately with no waiting.

For example, I searched the GS suspension forum for 'coilover smooth' picking two words out of your question and got these posts among many others. Please try it

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...oilover+smooth
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...oilover+smooth
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...oilover+smooth
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...oilover+smooth

I also searched for 'Tein comfort' given some of the recommendations in this thread:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...t=tein+comfort

PS - our max signature image size is 450 x 100, can you please resize your? Thanks

Edit - forgot to tell you where the advanced search is! Up at the top left of the forums page, you'll see the 'search' box, click the link under that to go to advanced search
