Any LS430 owner got this coilover on their car? Can you share your experience? TIA

Well since he has the car really low, he's put them at the stiffest setting to keep rebound at a minimal. When you have a car that low, you don't really want it bouncing around and scraping everything. As far as the ride quality is concerned, it is stiff but when he first put them in (default setting/no adjustment) they actually rode really nice.

Thanks for the feedback, I had Tein CS before but it's not as low as I want it to be, JIC said it can drop as much as 3.5 inches, but the only thing I am concern of is the ride comfort, Tein was great, felt like stock. I guess I won't really know until I have those JIC on the car.

I have the Tein CS on my ride. I love it. My tires were tucked and I just raised it a little.
