Question Coilovers for 2001 GS430??

Help people. I have a 2001 GS430 with 120,000 and I need ball bearings, tierods, and new shocks, struts and or coilovers. Are coilovers shocks essentially and what brand do I want? I have had the other major maintenance done and plan on driving this car till the wheels fall off so I don't care about spending some money.......Help!!!

If by ball bearings you mean the ball joints then i would get those and the tie rods from one of our dealer vendors (Sewell or Carson). Coilovers are a great upgrade depending on what your price range is. Also verify that the 90k service was done. Check the classifieds for deals on used or new coilovers. Good luck.

P.S. There are tons of reviews on different coilovers, just search.

Take a look and see what others are running and do a little reasearch to see whats best for you.

We can suggest a few if you're interested and some possible setups.
