Mate - can you answer my question as a fellow GS460 driver? You're pretty much the only person I know who can answer this.
How are the springs? Do they create a BMW like ride (soft over bumps but grippy in curves) or is it like an Audi ride (firm and jarring on bumpy or rough surface roads)
also does the factory AVS still adjust the damping between firm and normal?

imho, springs might not reduce roll too noticeably. if you want to reduce roll without sacrificing too much ride, sway bars are the right way to go. f sport is coming out with a fix on the bushings for the sways it seems, that might be what you want to look at

correct, avs works by turning and thus adjusting the dampening on the shock (at the top of the shocks). so changing springs won't have effect on it
lowering springs will affect ride for sure. how much it affects, that depends on the springs of course

the characteristic of the system is basically a combo of the stock springs and shocks together, and a lot of times a different shock might help. but of course you lose the avs feature.

have you tried in comfort mode, does it help? or it's giving you too much sacrifice on the roll? if the ride in comfort is good, then maybe the sways will help you gain back the handling while keeping it in the softer ride

FYI... I just got off the phone with Carson Lexus (l-tunedparts.com) and they said the TTE's are no longer being imported in so they are unavailable. Unless any of you guys know of other websites that can get these, it looks like we are stuck with Tanabe, Eibach, F-Sport, or Tien in which none of them have tested with the GS460.
