Default Best and safe way to lower LS430

Guys, need your help here. What is the best way to lower my 2002 LS430? I'm thinking about getting the Eibach lowering springs but I heard about the problems i will have with my stock shocks since it can't move freely. I have no intention of changing the stock shocks because I don't want the harsh ride.

What about the Tein CS? Any experience? Thanks.

ecru..

stock shocks are fine..just that they will wear out faster due to progressive lowering springs...will not harm anything

if $$$ is a non-issue, get the teins CS or hks hyper LS..both stock level comfort with the ht. adjustbility

We've done a couple LS430's, there isn't any problem really except for what Will said, the shocks won't last as long. Not a big deal though at all!
