Default LS430 Budget Friendly Reliable Coilover Brands

I couldn't find a thread like this on this site. I'm looking for some aftermarket coilovers for around $400 - $800, hopefully with adjustable ride height and stiffness. Saw some people on FB talking about MXR but I heard it was unreliable and leaked easily.

If anyone is running aftermarket coilovers feel free to put the brand down below, even if it's outside of the price range, it would be greatly helpful.

Don't buy junk, you'll just end up regretting it when they fail sooner rather than later. Buy once, cry once.

Fortune Auto, Tein Flex Z, BC Racing, or Tanabe.

Those are all good brands offering a quality product, but you have to pay for quality. That being said, they should last longer than the cheaper ones.

I selected TEIN for the SC and been very good; don’t regret the higher price. The ride is adjustable but stiff compared to the cushy OEM ride.

For the LS, did not pursue coil overs since the smooth ride, for me, is a main attraction. Went with KYB struts and replaced the worn LCA bushings restoring the quiet, elegant ride.

Pick a good, well regarded product as much as you feel like investing.

whatever you do get rear toe arms, the drop will affect toe and your ability to get women.
