If you want the best of both worlds, comfort, lowness and a QUALITY shock that's valved really nicely, I suggest checking out the Tanabe Z40

The Z40's also hold up to our harsh winters here in Canada, BC's and Megan's don't.

Thanks for all the info everyone!

I'm thinking to myself that even coilovers that some may consider "stiff" may not be as bad to me. I used to daily drive a 240sx with coilovers and a roll cage and that was pretty stiff. However, my experience with LS430's is very limited and I have not had a chance to ride in any other LS's with different suspension setups.

How are the Megan EZ or LP coilovers? I would consider the EZ just for the low price alone but that would not be the determining factor..
