So anyone care to share how their suspension actually rides???
Something more detailed than "I like it". Not trying to be a **** but we have an 8 pg thread about suspension and the only pertinent info is what sort of drop they provide (which is also available by reading the specs on the springs...).

Since I haven't post here yet xD
1995 LS400
First Setup:
Tanabe / Bilstein
Road just like stock if you are looking for the stock feel. Felt a lot of body roll when i switched lanes on the freeway. Good setup and decent drop on it. Only had setup on for 6 months, because i didn't like the body roll at all.
Second Setup:
Tein CS v2
Very nice coilover at the time I purchase them. There wasn't a lot of selection back than only JIC and Tein. 16 way adjustable which is more than enough. I could feel the difference in the car. A lot less body roll, but very comfortable to drive in. Was disappoint when i maxed out the coilover and it didn't get that low lol. Went through a few turns and felt very solid.
Third Setup:
Tein CS v2 + UAS Aero Sport Bag + Accuair
Currently I am on this setup, and I like it so far. You can notice that it is more stiffer since I removed the spring. Still very comfortable to ride in depending on how much pressure is put into the bags. The air bags are very solid that is for sure hit a few pot holes at 40mph+. I can still take turn similar speeds when i had the springs in w/ the Tein CS v2.
Future Setup
I might want to switch over to BC Racing Coilover + UAS + Accuair. This is because I want my car to lay frame xD. The Tein CS v2 gets pretty low, but you can't drive it to low, because there isn't enough pressure in the air bag. I was thinking of adding the youzealand ss kit, but rather have another set of coilover. I can keep my Tein CS v2 as back up if i ever have any issues with my air bags, and whenever I need to rebuild either set of coilovers.

i will be on UAS with BC coils soon. i have all the parts, just need to get a new switch box as i have an old school lowerider-esque 8-switch box. see-saw!!! i'm also currently having my bag brackets powdercoated for durability. i'm slowly thinking about saving up for the autopilotV2 and ditching my 8 SMC valves!
