Default euro suspension

I am looking at a couple of 2003 LS430. One has the Euro suspension set-up. I have not had a chance to drive it yet but does anyone have any experience with it. I have driven many "regular" 430's and the ride is heavenly but could use just a tad bit more feedback. Is the euro suspension too much stifness and ruin the Lexus ride?

It's tough to say . . . I have the sport suspension and believe the ride is comfortable, yet responsive. When I test drove another LS430, I did note a slightly more cushy ride, but I have zero complaints with the sport suspension. Hope that helps.

I have an '04 LS Ultra with optional sport setting. I like the response the reg. suspension gets and feel that the sport valving improve the handling. I like the room of the large back seat and feel the car handles well for a full size 4,000+ lb. luxury car. Having driven earlier LS's I like the new active air suspension.

There is a bigger difference in ride in the ultra adj susp between the sport and reg.The difference in the euro and standard is very suttle.Plus the ultra is adjustable
