Default L-Tuned Suspension or not??

I am debating whether or not to add the L-Tuned suspension to my GS. Is it worth it??

Does anyone with it have anything negative to say??

Here are the cons:

Ride is stiffer. Cushy ride is compromised.
Road clearence is lower (you will often scrape the front bumper)
There is good chance that you will need re-alignment 30 days after the instal .. things settle)

Pros:

More than the cons.

I have a couple negative things to say. I hate the way people tell me "oh what a nice comfy ryde this is". "So this is how a lexus feels". .......... haha.

But seriously couldn't say one bad thing about the setup..Now that I've ridden on them 8 months its about time to stiffen it up a little further!

If you don't want stiff ride and don't want to lower your car too much, l-tuned is perfect for you. That's probably the softest aftermarket suspension combo.

Only neg thing I can think of is the exorbitant price my local dealer (and there's only one in my state) wants for the install. Dealership installation isn't necessary, but if they do, it's Lexus warrantied (as are the parts, regardless).

I think it's a no brainer. I don't know anyone who regrets doing the L-Tuned suspension upgrade except those who wanted an even stiffer ride. If you think an Acura TL-S is stiff, don't get L-Tuned.
