whats up guys, i'm new on the site and just picked up an 04 LS430 a couple weeks ago. I can't stand driving any car at factory hight and this car was no exception so i ordered my coilovers as soon as i possibly could. I got them from some friends at Freed Engineering in Gambrills, MD and had them drop shipped to my house (very quick might i add). you can get any spring rate you desire between 5k and 12k but if you don't specify im pretty sure they will send you 12k/8k. i chose a 10k rate up front and 8k rear because i daily drive mine and it was important for me to stay relatively comfortable. There's a few other custom options you can choose from if you want such as Swift Spring upgrade, roller bearings, and helper springs - i only got the roller bearing upgrade because it was cheap and ensured a nice and smooth steering feel.





i am currently riding on the lowest setting up front and 3/4 down on the rear. you can see i the picture that there is no finger gap up front and tucking a little tire in the rear. i LOVE how this thing rides. with the springs preloaded correctly up front, the upper control arm very seldom hits the strut tower over bumps unless its a gnarly bridge buckle or pothole. I seriously couldn't be happier with my choice and for the price you really can't beat it. build quality is killer and everything is serviceable in the US too. i would recommend these to anyone looking for some new coilovers for their LS430.

Looks sharp! Thanks for your post. I am looking at converting my UL to coilovers in the near future and had looked at Fortune Auto also. Any reason you picked these over any other brand?

More and more choices are becoming available for the LS430. Maybe we need a thread dedicated to different brands of coilovers.
