Default Blistein of LTuned Shocks

What do you guys think about Blistein Shocks. I might be able to get a good deal on them? I was thinking about getting the L-Tuned shocks. I don't want to sacrafice ride quality for everyday driving. Some imput would help. Thanks.

Bistein all day long...lifetime warranty, great, responsive feel to them. Not a harsh ride at all. The way the car should feel when sold in the first place IMO.

I have the Bilstein and Eibach spring. I love them. good combination for lowering the car about 1.2".

If you are changing the shocks, consider changing the spring at the same time. Otherwise, you will regret and end up spending the twice the installation.

If you don't want to sacrafice ride quality, don't install the TRD sway. That will definitely kill the nice soft quality of Lexus.

I had Eibach/Bilstein. They did change the handling quite a bit compared with stock. Eibach/Bilstein is firmer than L-Tuned suspension. Broadly speaking, I'd pick Eibach/Bilstein over L-Tuned everyday in either performance wise or price wise. However, I only have two complaints, the drop is not enough for me and the car is still too soft for me.
