Default Best Coilover package for daily driver?

Hey all... from the research that I have done on the forums I have decided on the Tein Flex system for my daily driven GS4.. I have not been keeping up with the products that have come out as of late.... Is there anything that I should look at?

Goals: Improved handling with as close to "Lexus" feel as possible. Not too harsh....I can get into my Supra for that...Tein HA's

Current suspension mods:

TRD front STB
TRD sways
TRD member brace (under)
Eibach springs
19" MRR staggered wheels 8.5 f & 9.5r

TIA

I run the Tein Flex. It's perfectly streetable to my standards. Good thing that you can adjust the preload and dampening. If you have them set to the minimum/ zero, then the suspension will ride just a tad closer than to stock.....but that would kind of defeat the purpose of a performance suspension

I have mine set a 12/16 ....16 being the stiffest dampening. Preload is set about 1.5inch up. It's perfectly streetable for me and handles great as well. Thats the only suspension mod I have and there is a huge difference over stock even without sway bars.

Everyone has their tolerances of how stiff and such. It seems like you have the Supra + HA, so the Flex will be a cushy ride to your standards as well

Did you read the VERY first post on this thread?

This question has been beat to death for many years, so it may be part of the reason why you have little response. So do a search under each of the type of coilovers discussed on the first thread and you will have plenty of opinions.

In the end , the coilover closest to stock comfort with some added performance is the TEIN CS. (IMO)
